Former IGP Nasir Khan Durrani given important task in Punjab: Sources

ISLAMABAD - Punjab government has decided to form the Police Reform Commission under the leadership of Nasir Khan Durrani, the former Inspector General of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) police.

The Police Reform Commission to be led by Durrani has been tasked with recommending measures to transform the otherwise highly politicised Punjab police into a professional outfit which would be politically neutral, operationally autonomous, service oriented and externally accountable, the sources said.

They said the Durrani-led commission would also include some reputed members of the Police Service of Pakistan and others. It would work as a professional body, rather than as an entity associated with any political party.

The chairman and members of the commission would retain their present positions and work voluntarily on the police reform agenda, without benefiting from any additional remuneration or perks, the sources said.

They said that Imran Khan had been keen to engage Nasir Durrani, who reformed the KP police during the last Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf provincial administration, either as home affairs advisor or special assistant to the Punjab chief minister.
