  "account": "Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz inaugurated 33 mobile police stations across Punjab on Wednesday, offering 14 services including FIR registration, according to an official statement. Six of these units are dedicated to addressing women's issues, according to Punjab Home Secretary Ahmad Javed Qazi.\n\nEach mobile police station will be led by a sub-inspector, supported by a field supervisor, senior station assistant, and both male and female constables. The station house officer and beat officer will remain on-site to oversee operations. The mobile units will provide services ranging from FIR registration and online e-tagging to tenant registration, employee verification, and criminal record checks. Citizens lodging complaints for FIRs will receive an immediate online e-tag for tracking. They can also report lost documents like national identity cards and chequebooks directly through these units.\n\nThe mobile stations will also provide character certificates and comprehensive driving license services, including learner permits, renewals, duplicates, and international permits. They will visit universities and women's colleges on a fixed schedule, with dynamic deployment based on real-time crime data and emergency helpline calls at 15.\n\nTo ensure awareness, the van routes will be shared on social media and through local mosque announcements before arrival. Senior station assistants will handle IT operations, digital database entries, and online tracking, while constables assist visitors. CM Maryam inspected one of the new units, reviewed capabilities, and interacted with personnel.\n\nThe initiative aims to bridge the gap between citizens and police while saving time and travel expenses, especially for those in remote and underserved areas. Specialized staff will handle sensitive cases involving harassment, domestic violence, and offenses against women and children with empathy and privacy.",
