During the review of the Police Response Vehicles (PRV-112) service, the Chief Minister directed to determine the strategic location of PRVs and ensure their regular movement. He said that PRVs should be operated in such a way that the confidence of the general public in security is strengthened and a clear message is sent to the criminals.
