LARKANA, April 2: The District Public Safety Commission, Larkana, met with its chairman, Dr Niaz Ahmed Chandio, on Tuesday.
The meeting took exception of the absence of the DPO (investigation), which was mandatory under section 47 (6) of the police order 2002 and decided to ask him the reason for his absence.
The DPO (watch and ward), while briefing the meeting, said that the local policing plan that had already been delayed would be ready soon.
He said that complaint boxes have been installed at all DSP offices, post offices and DPO offices where the complainant could drop his complaints. These boxes would be opened regularly and the nature of the complaints would be scrutinized and acted upon.
The secretary of the DPSC, Ahmed Sultan Khoso, urged the need for improving relations between the police and public by arranging frequent meetings of DPOs and DPSC members.
Sultan Ahmed Bhutto, a member of the commission, said that implementation on the DPSC decision was a must.
Holding monthly meetings in the sub-divisions was okayed where the DSPs, the SHOs and the elected representatives would openly criticize and assess the overall performance of the DPSC and the volume of response from the police.
RESOLUTIONS: The Larkana District Council, at its meeting held on Tuesday, discussed the functioning of different sub-committees formed to monitor implementation of resolutions adopted by the council.
Speaking at the meeting, Amir Bakhsh Gaad, the chief whip, criticized the DCO for circulating a letter asking officers not to entertain members of the education sub-committee during their visits to schools.
He deplored 85 schools remained closed in the district as the efforts of the sub-committee to make them functional were being blocked.
Mr Gaad said 10 women teachers of the Government Girl High School were transferred and the EDO, education, filled the vacancies with illegal appointments.
He said 73 women teachers had been appointed at the Mughal High School against a low strength.
A member of the council, Badarudain Abbasi, said chairmen and members of sub-committees should make these bodies more active.
Women members of the council deplored the district government often rejected development schemes they submitted. They said their proposals were always ignored.
Led by Khurshid Talat Khatyan, the women members boycotted the proceedings over the issue.
