In the upcoming financial year, the Punjab Police will not receive funding for any new projects, focusing instead on completing previously issued schemes, according to police authorities.
The Punjab Police had initially requested funds for 91 new schemes across the province, including Lahore, amounting to Rs1.8 billion. However, the authorities have decided to allocate funds exclusively for ongoing projects.
For the completion of these ongoing schemes, the police had sought over Rs7 billion for 149 projects. More than Rs5 billion was requested specifically for completing these ongoing initiatives. However, police officials expect to receive only Rs5 billion in the next fiscal year.
With this allocation, the Punjab Police plans to complete 98 out of the 149 existing schemes. The new schemes initially proposed included the construction of police stations, offices, and residences throughout Punjab.
Despite these funding constraints, police officials are committed to finishing the ongoing projects to enhance the infrastructure and operational efficiency of the Punjab Police force.
