RAWALPINDI: What is being described as inability to provide security to the business community, the city police asked the traders to hire private security guards for security of shopping malls and other business outlets.
“We have limited resources and with such a meager wherewithal the police are not in a position to guard the business houses and shopping malls,” declared City Police Officer (CPO) Humayun Bashir while talking to a delegation of Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI). The businessmen called on the top cop to apprise him of the poor law and order in the garrison city.
