Punjab Police maintained a heightened state of alert and diligently carried out security duties during Christian prayer services held at churches throughout Punjab province, including the city of Lahore. Earlier, Inspector General of Police Abdul Kareem sent out orders to regional police officers (RPOs), district police officers (DPOs), and senior police officials to bolster security at churches.
He emphasized that supervisory officers should personally examine the security measures at churches, as well as other critical and sensitive sites. Additional police forces and snipers were to be stationed at high-profile churches, while teams from the Dolphin Squad, Police Response Unit (PRU), and Elite Force were to conduct effective patrols around the churches.
The Inspector General ordered all deployed police personnel to remain exceptionally vigilant, closely monitoring any disruptive elements. He also directed that ongoing search and sweep operations were to be conducted around churches, Christian neighborhoods, and other sensitive locations. According to Abdul Kareem, religious leaders, the Christian community, and members of Peace Committees should foster interfaith harmony.
