The Easiest Way to Verify a Car/Motorcycle and Report Crime in Pakistan

The Easiest Way to Verify a Car/Motorcycle and Report Crime in Pakistan

Though the Police Act 1861 has been amended multiple times, the Police in Pakistan still largely functions under this law which was enacted under the British Raj. As the British came to the Indian sub-continent to rule rather than serve the locals, they made laws which were intended to control rather than facilitate the locals. The Police Act 1861 was one of the laws. 

The law which was made to keep the citizens at an arm’s length unfortunately still serves its purpose. 75 years of independence and still there’s a disconnect between the Police and the citizens. People, in general, still look upon the Police with suspicion and fear rather than respect and gratitude. 

To end this, or to bridge this gap, citizens of the province of Sindh especially those living in Karachi initiated a project called the Citizens Police Liaison Committee. The committee consists of the nobles of the city which serve as a medium between the commoners and the Police. Simply put, when a citizen can’t go to the Police station and get his/her complaint registered, the same can approach a member of the liaison committee and have his/her grievance registered.
