Pakistan Railways -Police will review full digital transformation within three months of a new reform plan in line with the Punjab policy model, Inspector General Rai Muhammad Tahir said Wednesday.

In a speech with Express News, Tahir said the railway police will create its own data server in collaboration with Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB).

All manual items will gradually be digitized with a focus on transparency and efficiency.

“We fill the manual system. The goal is a modern, computer policy model,” said IG.

The new system will include strict procedural rules. Officers who are on duty on theft or other events will be required to capture video visions who will become part of the digital case file. Officers who arrive or leave duty will be held responsible for reporting.

To strengthen labor, 500 new staff have already been recruited with plans to hire an additional 1,000 by December.

A security upgrade plan has also been developed. It includes the installation of surveillance cameras and safety equipment of 30 larger and 70 smaller railway stations with a total budget of RS3 billion.

In addition, RS5 billion is allocated to upgrade 50 police stations, and RS8 billion more are expected to be included in next year’s federal development schemes.

Tahir repeated a strict attitude towards internal accountability and said that “there is no place for corrupt officers in the railway police.”

Investigators will receive three months of advanced education and funds have been allocated to support improved logistics and investigative work.

“For the next three months you will see a clear transformation in the railway police,” he said.
