New police station to be set up in G-13

ISLAMABAD: Keeping in view the increasing population of the federal capital, the police department has decided to set up a police station in the G-13 Markaz area.

A police source said the Islamabad Development Party has already given its conditional approval to the proposal on a summary moved by the department.

He said the new police station, along with the existing 16 police stations, would help decrease the crime rate in the city.

The source said that security related development projects are subject to clearance from the Planning and Development Division.

The new police station project involves construction of station’s building at an estimated cost of Rs 37.221 million, barracks at an estimated cost of Rs 58.335 million and six police posts in Sector G-13 costing approximately Rs 51.115 million.

The source said that Islamabad police were also working on a plan to ensure comprehensive security arrangements and installation of a state of the art video surveillance system for prevention and detection of crimes and terrorist activities
