An Otaq (Public Gathering) on ‘Policing in Sub-Urban Areas ´ Building Trust’ was held in Larkana on Thursday, February 27, 2014. The event was part of CRSS-GIZ advocacy campaign for Capacity Development of Sindh Police (CDSP) project to create demand for efficient and profession police service for the province of Sindh and build trust between police and the people.
The event was organized to listen to public complaints and suggestions to improve the image of police. The participants, the local people of the area, mostly the villagers, stressed the need for changing the face of the police from a dreaded force to a helping hand for the common man and at the same time as a force to hound the law breakers.
They were also of the view that reforms be introduced in police service to change the image of the police by ensuring merit-based recruitment, better training and education and transparency in this the process.
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police Sindh, Larkana, Khadim Husain Rind and MPA Khursheed Jonejo (PPP) attended the Otaq and responded to the questions of the people.
