| [DAWN] ISLAMABAD: Police personnel on security duty at the sites of the sit-ins staged by the PTI and PAT seem to be fed up with their long hours duties. During the last three days, over 400 police personnel were found disappeared from their places of duty at the Red Zone. Besides, some of the senior coppers have either gone on leave or were found not available at their duty points. A senior police official on the condition of anonymity told Dawn that over 400 personnel from the Punjab police had disappeared from the high security area. When the in-charges of the coppers were asked about the whereabouts of the coppers, they claimed that the officials had fallen ill. "However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... only about 100 of the coppers were actually ill and needed medical rest," the officer said, adding the remaining coppers had left for their stations in Punjab without informing the authorities concerned. He said the office of the inspector general of the capital police had been approached with a request to contact the Punjab police to take action against the officials. He said action was also sought against the in-charges of the coppers in the capital city for their failure to stop the officials from leaving their duty spots. Similarly, a deputy superintendent of the capital police was found absent from his duty point. "He has only been communicating with his senior officers through the official wireless set from his office or home since August 15." |
