Punjab has rolled out 33 mobile police stations across different districts, designed to bring key police services closer to citizens. The units offer 14 services, including FIR registration, online e-tagging, tenant and employee registration, criminal-record checks, lost-document reporting, character certificates and several driving-licence services.

Of the 33 units, six are Pink Mobile Police Stations dedicated to matters involving women. The vans are also scheduled to visit universities and girls’ colleges, while deployment to other areas can be guided by crime data and calls to Police Helpline 15.


The initiative is intended to reduce the need for citizens, particularly those in remote or underserved areas, to travel to conventional police stations for routine services.


Would a mobile police station make public services easier to access in your area?

An International Monetary Fund (IMF) delegation is expected to review Pakistan’s privatisation progress and power-sector reforms as part of its ongoing economic reform engagement with the country.

The discussions are expected to focus on state-owned enterprises, energy-sector restructuring and progress on bringing private-sector participation into electricity distribution. Pakistan’s first batch of DISCO privatisations includes FESCO, GEPCO and IESCO, for which the Privatisation Commission has been moving through the investor-interest and pre-qualification process.

The IMF has repeatedly identified energy-sector viability, reduction of circular debt, improved distribution efficiency and SOE reform as important parts of Pakistan’s reform programme.
