motorcycle patrols ahead of the Eid-ul-Fitr in the city aimed at checking 
crimes.   

“Motorcycle patrols will be further enhanced in the nooks and crannies of

The police station will assist them in this regard,” he said.

to help police maintain law and order.    

He stressed the need for enhancing police search to arrest criminals

measures for greater security of their homes and institutions during the 
upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr,” he said.
