Police as brigandage
Balochistan Police is stripping the daily incomes of poor drivers despite receiving a salary from the government. The poor working as laborers are asked to pay a huge amount as bribery by police. However, the poor drivers are absent in terms of submitting the school fee of their children while a huge amount of their income is being grasped by the police.
Around every 50 KMs, there are found 4 to 5 police check posts that have been determined to charge over 500 PKR to per vehicle whereas the drivers, themselves, can not save 500 but the police do. A poor laborer who excludes his launch to save a little more money to pay for the treatment, school fees of his children or to buy personal stuff.
It’s no denying the fact that the government has created the police force for the service of the nation but doing the opposite is every day entertained by the police department province-wide.
Additionally, if drivers refuse to give money, they make them park for hours or make them talk to their senior officers. And, it causes much waste of their time and is a threat to daily earning.
Finally, I humbly request the government of Balochistan and all senior officers of the Police department the detection this curse.
