Prime Minister Imran Khan will pay a visit to the Police Lines Headquarters in Islamabad today.

According to the details, Imran Khan will be the first Prime Minister to visit the headquarters. The Prime Minister will attend the passing out ceremony of 1,200 police personnel recruited during the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf PTI era. Imran Khan will be accompanied by the Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed and Inspector General (IG) Islamabad Amir Zulfiqar.

Sheikh Rasheed, last week; ordered the removal of all security check posts, manned by Islamabad Police, in the federal capital what he called to facilitate the citizens and tourists. Ahmed said that the checking system through smart cars equipped with the latest technology is being introduced in the capital. Sheikh Rashid informed that only three check posts, two near two luxury hotels and one on the Margalla Road of the capital, would remain functional while all other security posts were being removed.

Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh was also sworn in as the federal minister.
