PESHAWAR
SSP Operations Kashif Aftab Abbasi Saturday said that snap checking has been made more active with a new strategy to prevent drug and other illegal smuggling at the Peshawar Motorway Toll Plaza.
Talking to media men, SSP Operation Kashif Aftab Abbasi said that checking of all types of vehicles coming to Peshawar from both sides of the motorway, i.e. outside Peshawar and from cities outside Peshawar, has been made mandatory.
Checking of cargo vehicles including passengers, public transport and all other vehicles continues till late night, he added. He said strict security arrangements have been made on the motorway blockade while monitoring is also being done through CCTV cameras.
The purpose of comprehensive checking with the new strategy is to make Peshawar a peaceful city, but also to ensure the prevention of smuggling of drugs and other illegal items, SSP Operations Kashif Aftab Abbasi said.
Strict legal action will be taken against smugglers of drugs and other illegal goods, as well as strict departmental action against bribery, criminals and officials having links with smugglers, SSP Operations informed.
Special checking is being done by putting the security on high alert at the entry and exit routes of the city, he said, adding, “Citizens, travelers and guests from other cities are requested to cooperate with the police on duty.”
