SIALKOT: The government’s plan of establishing the Excise and narcotics police stations at the Divisional Headquarters in Punjab is in doldrums for the last several years.
According to the senior officials, three years ago, the Punjab government had planned to establish the Excise and Narcotics police stations in Punjab’s divisional headquarters besides setting the special check posts at all the entry and exit points of the said divisional headquarters to curb the menace of the narcotics across the province.
The Excise and Taxation Department had also sent the detailed feasibility reports to the government for this purpose after the provincial government had allocated the special funds for purchasing the official vehicles and furniture as well.
Despite the passage of three years, the said E&T and Narcotics police stations have not yet been established and the project was still lying in doldrums and a victim of traditional red-tapism.
