LAHORE: The Lahore High Court chief justice on Thursday sought replies from the Punjab government and others on a writ petition challenging introduction of new uniform for police force in the province.
The petitioner-lawyer pleaded that an extensive debate had been started in police circles about ‘less attractive’ new olive green uniform for the force. He said the decision of the government of changing police uniform instead of changing police culture in the province was irrational. The petitioner also questioned tender given to Nishat Textile Mills for manufacturing of the new uniform alleging that procurement rules have been violated by the government.
He said that the system was **t capable of affording such a lavish expenses pertaining to the uniform and whereby the police stations were lacking basic facilities, good buildings, infrastructures, utensils and other daily products.
He submitted that instead of wasting precious public money on uniform, the money should have been spent on improving the police culture and all the basic facilities for the betterment of the citizens of Punjab.
The lawyer prayed to the court to set aside the tender process for the new police uniform for being in violation of the rules. Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah directed the respondents to file replies by April 3.
