Government to release funds  directly to police stations in capital

Islamabad – The government has decided to release funds directly to the police stations in the federal capital for day-to-day expenditures including fuel of the vehicles, maintenance, and other expenses under the head of investigation, said a police spokesman on Saturday.

The government also agreed to the proposal of Inspector General Islamabad Police Qazi Jamil-ur-Rehman for directing the funds to the relevant SHO police station, he said. He said that a transparent procedure is being drafted for disbursement of the said funds under the direct supervision of the SHO. The SHOs will maintain record of the expenditures incurred under different heads so that leakage of funds could be checked. 

IG Islamabad police has thanked the government of Pakistan for agreeing to his proposal and hoped the decision would improve working of the police department. He was of the view that provision of funds would also boost morale of the force.
