IGP Rizvi emphasized that ensuring the safety of all processions and gatherings is the top priority of Islamabad Police. He assured that security teams will not only focus on surveillance and protection but also on facilitating citizens with organized parking arrangements and smooth traffic flow.

“Our mission is to ensure complete protection for the people of Islamabad. We urge citizens to cooperate with the police and report any suspicious activity through the emergency helpline Call 15,” said IGP Rizvi.

This proactive initiative reflects IGP Rizvi’s commitment to secure religious harmony and public peace during the sacred month, through organized coordination and community engagement.
