Security beefed up around mosques in Bahawalpur

Jul 10, 2014

BAHAWALPUR: Police have tightened security across the city and other parts of the district, particularly around mosques during Taraveeh prayers.

On the directives of District Police Officer Sarfaraz Ahmed Falki, special bunkers for security policemen were being constructed outside mosques while most had been built already.

The extraordinary security measures had been taken after the Uch Sharif incident in which constable Haibat Khan and his companion razakar Abdul Sattar were shot dead.
