KARACHI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th Aug, 2017 ) : Inspector General of Police (IGP-Sindh), AD Khowaja here on Thursday inaugurated the police helpline service 9110 attached to the Complaint Center functional at his office.

Talking to the media on the occasion, he said all public complaints registered under 9110 will be recorded and that cases of serious nature will be personally handled by him. "A compact approach is being adopted to redress public grievances," he said mentioning that the new system will be directly linked to all divisions of the province.

"This is to ensure that people from across province may register their complaints directly to the IGP office without any inhibition," said AD Khowaja.

This, he said reflects the priorities of the Sindh police department enabling people to record their complaint, if any, against the department or any of its employees-be it a cop or officer.

Sindh police chief clarified that 9110 is not an emergency number and that 15 can be used by people in case of emergencies. However, through the latest helpline number citizens can register their complaints about registration of fake FIRs, delayed investigation, kept under duress, demand for bribe and so-forth.

To a query, he said mechanism has also been evolved to counter fake complaints.
