FAISALABAD, June 22: Punjab IGP Malik Asif Hayat has expressed his discontent over the police performance especially during the crackdown launched against terrorists after the recent acts of terrorism in different parts of the country.
The IGP warned that disciplinary action would be taken against the inefficient police officers particularly those who failed to arrest terrorists of Sipah-i-Sahaba, Sipah-i-Muhammad, Lashkar-i-Tayyaba and Jaish-i-Muhammad.
The IGP in a directive issued here on Saturday said that a list of terrorists prepared with the help of agencies had been circulated to all the range DIGs with the direction to arrest them by launching effective crackdown.
The directive further said that in the backdrop of recent terrorist incidents in Bhakkar, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Multan and Karachi districts, the government had decided to take them squarely. The decision was conveyed to all the range DIGs. Undeclared war was going on with these terrorists who were playing in the hands of country’s enemy, the directive added.
According to a police department source, the Punjab police have arrested 150 alleged terrorists of banned militant outfits as against the target of 700 given to them.
All the arrested persons are being interrogated by special police teams and a secret agency while most of them have not so far been produced before court.
RECOMMENDED: The sub-committee of agricultural experts in its meeting at Ayub Agricultural Research Institute has recommended many high-yielding varieties of different crops.
A wheat variety GA 2002, which gives more yield than already existing Chakwal 86 and Rawal 87 varieties, has been recommended. The optimum sowing time for the new variety, resistant to diseases and tolerant against drought, is the third week of October.
Another wheat line V93B T022 has also been recommended besides a higher green fodder variety JS-2002 which is tolerant to diseases.
A sugarcane variety SPF-234, with high juice percentage and good ratooner, has also been recommended. A short stature, high yielding and early maturing mash variety “Chakwal Mash” is provisionally recommended. A groundnut variety “Golden” and sarson variety “Chakwal Sarson” have been deferred for further testing.
