Punjab Police issues safety advisory to cops to avoid uniforms while commuting after ASI's murder

Punjab Police on Tuesday issued a security advisory asking police personnel in border districts to avoid wearing uniforms and displaying police symbols while traveling between home and duty. The advisory, which was issued by the Inspector General of Police Border Range to Senior Superintendents of Police in Amritsar Rural, Batala, Gurdaspur, and Pathankot, comes after the killing of Assistant Sub-Inspector Harjeet Singh in Amritsar. The directive instructs personnel to travel in civil clothes and strictly follow security protocols. The step comes after targeted attacks on police personnel across the Border Range, including the killings of Assistant Sub-Inspector Joginder Singh in Majitha and two personnel in Gurdaspur.
