Capital bolsters diplomats' security

 



The security division of the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police has introduced comprehensive reforms in 2024 to enhance the safety of foreign diplomats, embassies and international institutions in the capital. To fortify the security of foreign embassies, diplomats and institutions, a protective wall was constructed around all four sides of the Diplomatic Enclave, complete with an electric fence, an official said. He said that in order to ensure effective surveillance, a safe city control room was established with modern cameras, adding the entry of individuals into the Diplomatic Enclave is now recorded through advanced high-tech tablets, while body-worn cameras and iron gates have been installed in high-security zones. A Cascade Service Centre was also set up within the Diplomatic Enclave to provide global-standard facilities under one roof, offering 24/7 services to applicants, including all police-related services for diplomats, he added. Additionally, a Special Protection Unit (SPU) was formed to ensure the security of Chinese nationals, with 415 young police officers assigned to safeguard them. A dedicated control room was also established to address the security-related issues faced by Chinese citizens in a timely manner, the official said. The ICT Police also launched innovative initiatives, including a community horse-riding school for diplomats and citizens and a Diplomatic Diagnostic Centre for the welfare of police officers, where medical services are available at discounted rates. The official said that throughout the year, the division ensured foolproof security for 31 National Assembly sessions, 17 Senate sessions, four joint sessions, in-camera briefings and 903 other national and international conferences and events
