LAHORE: The Lahore Police have taken robust measures to ensure the safety and security of worshippers at Christian churches across the city. In this regard, 2794 policemen performed their security duties at 622 churches in Lahore on Sunday.

CCPO Lahore Bilal Siddique Kamyana outlined the planning and deployment of policemen to safeguard these places of worship. The 622 churches have been classified into four categories—A, B, C, and D—comprising 59 in Category A, 84 in Category B, 378 in Category C, and 101 in Category D, he said. The security strategy encompasses the use of cutting-edge technology, including CCTV cameras, metal detectors, and walk-through gates, specifically tailored for the protection of the Christian community during Christmas celebrations, the CCPO added.

Kamyana emphasised the city’s high alert status, revealing the deployment of snipers and additional police personnel at sensitive churches. Simultaneously, he noted the ongoing scrutiny of entrance and exit routes throughout the city, with dedicated teams such as Dolphin Squad, PRU, and Elite Force conducting vigilant patrols around the designated areas. He directed police officers to inspect and ensure the effectiveness of security arrangements at churches and other important locations.
