About a month ago, Islamabad Police also introduced a new “smart stop and search” method of road security following the removal of the check posts in the federal capital upon the orders from the Federal Minister of Interior, Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad.

SP Islamabad Police, Muhammad Omar Khan said that the new strategy has been launched to control crimes in the federal capital and involves a “stop and search” surprise point in each zone. He added that, after every two hours, the policemen change their position and move to new locations to maintain the element of surprise and keep the check and balance dynamic.

The SP affirmed that along with the checkings, the new system is intended to ensure that the people undergo the least amount of difficulty. He added that police personnel has been directed to make sure that the flow of traffic is not affected and that special care is taken of vehicles with families on board.
