A statement issued on Sunday by the command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, outlined the deployment of special units, including the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, Anti-Vice Section, CP Monitoring Unit, and Operation Fushin Kada, to strategic locations.
The commissioner urged citizens to cooperate with the police, particularly by refraining from activities that could jeopardise public safety. He specifically warned youths against using banned items such as fireworks and knockouts, which could cause fear or unrest.

We want to ensure everyone has a peaceful and enjoyable holiday season, and we will do everything in our power to make that happen.”
