KP cabinet approves Right to Information Bill
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cabinet on Tuesday approved the Right to Information Bill that after its passage from the provincial assembly in the next session would facilitate the general public and media to get information about provincial government departments.
Briefing journalists after cabinet meeting here at Peshawar Press Club, spokesman for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government Shaukat Yousafzai said the cabinet discussed law and order situation in the province and approved reforms in policing system to facilitate the general public, reduce crimes and combat terrorism.He said the police officials would now work in two shifts while separate desks would be established for facilitating women complainants at police stations through female officials.
The minister said that investigation branch would be reorganised and investigating police officers would be provided training with latest technology and techniques. He added that the fingerprints of all suspected persons living within the jurisdiction of a police station would be obtained and examined after each criminal act in that police station.
The minister said the provincial cabinet also stopped shoulder promotions in police department while no vehicles would be stopped by the traffic police on the road for checking documents. A vehicle would be intercepted only for violating traffic rules on the road, he added.
About combating terrorism, Shaukat Yousafzai said the PTI-led coalition government inherited terrorism from the past governments that pursued wrong policies. He said the police force would be provided proper training and weapons to combat terrorism while a trust would be established for the victims of terrorism under which the victims children would be provided free of cost education.
