Capital police website lacks everything but the IG
ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Police seems active only in promoting their high-ups instead of facilitating the residents of the federal capital, as their official website only shows the picture of IG Bani Amin Khan, leaving off the shelf the crime data of 2012 and 2013 and any updates of the survey regarding religious seminaries and mosques.
On the other hand, in a strange move, the ICT police have displayed the picture of a private mall as a landmark instead of uploading any national building, landmark or monument’s picture.
According to details, the website www.islamabadpolice.gov.pk of the ICT police which was developed to facilitate and assure the interaction between the public and the police department has not been updated properly by irking the citizens who access the website to get basic information. The data available on the website tells that till January 2012, the number of mosques in the capital territory was 712 among which 105 were registered. However the number of Madrissas was 228. Whereas according to some sources, about 50 new mosques and 15 Madrissas are formed during the last year.
Same is the case with the crime statement available on the website. The statement is of year 2011 which tells that 6793 cases were registered and 6097 Challans were submitted in the year; however the crime statement of 2012 has not been uploaded on the website yet.
There is a list of all 18 police stations of Islamabad available on the web among which, the web links for the details of two police stations namely Police Station Bharakahu and Police Station Tarnol are not accessible for the public, however the telephone numbers of Kohsar Police Station are also not updated, The Spokesman has learnt.
Moreover, there is also a picture of a private mall ‘centaurs’ is displayed on the website, instead of displaying a picture of any place, building or a landmark having a national significance like Faisal Mosque or the National Monument.
Kiran, an official at web section of Islamabad Police Headquarters told The Spokesman that, “as being a government officials we have no authority to update the data on website without getting approval from higher authorities. In January, we requested the authorities for the latest data during our meeting, and the director has also forwarded the letter and we are still waiting for the latest data”. However Dr. Sultan Azam Taimoori DIG Headquarter when contacted said, “Although the picture of Centaurs (mall) on our official website is not logical, it was uploaded just to decorate the website. However there are some issues regarding the timely updating of the website just because we have to deal with various other matters as well.”
