Safety everyone’s responsibility

Police will continue to increase visibility on our roads with a lot of movement expected.

Chief Operations Officer Assistant Commissioner of Police Abdul Khan said it is unfortunate that a life has been claimed yesterday due to the negligence of some drivers however the need to take extra care on our road is vital.

ACP Khan is hoping that drivers will always adhere and follow road rules to avoid such circumstances and of course, random Breathalyzer checks are conducted as Police also try to address the issue of drinking and driving.

“Please plan your travel well as there will be a lot of vehicles moving in and out of towns and major cities and if you drink, don’t drive and put yourself in a regrettable situation”.

ACP Khan is advising the public that Police will not be everywhere and it’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure a safe and enjoyable Easter for everyone.

He is also urging everyone to be vigilant and take necessary safety precautions if you’re intending on going for a picnic or will be involved in any water-related activities.

“We anticipate a lot of families to be taking advantage of this Easter long weekend at popular picnic spots and while Police will be moving around we can’t be everywhere and are urging everyone to prioritize their safety.”

ACP Khan also sounded a warning to drug peddlers and movers to stop the illegal trade as police beefed up its operation in this regard.

“We are warning those involved in the drug trade that Police will be on alert and no matter where they try and hide, we will catch them and we know there are people who will be trying to earn fast cash and some will be resorting to illegal activities.”

Remember safety is everyone’s responsibility.
