Emphasizing that the security of members of the Sikh community coming to Pakistan to visit their holy places is of extreme importance, Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Syed Mohsin Naqvi said on Friday that it was because of that reason that the safe city project, completed at the cost of Rs350 million, had now been expanded to cover Nankana Sahib, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of Punjab Police Command and Control Center at Nankana Sahib, he said that the provision of security to tourists was necessary if tourism sector had to develop in the country.
“Under the system, cameras will be installed at different places of the city to monitor the movements of people,” he said, and added, “Although some incidents of terrorism have taken place in the province recently. But the police arrested those involved in these incidents.”
The chief minister said emphatically that nobody was allowed to commit terrorism in the name of religion.
