'Your desired (police) number is not in anybody's use' | |
2015-01-17 | |
[DAWN] SAHIWAL: Asalam-o-Alykum, your desired number is not in anyones use. You are requested to contact 1217, was the reply when provincial minister Malik Nadeem Kamran dialed Chichawtani DSP Office number displayed in a school as an emergency measure on Thursday.
The police as well as the college administration had to face embarrassment when the minister dialed the number to check the effectiveness of the arrangement. The minster was accompanied by PML-N local leader Tufail Jutt, District Police Officer Syed Khurram Ali and Chichawatni DSP Farrukh Javed, Director Colleges Abdul Majeed, EDO (education) and others. On further inquiry, it transpired the land-line phone connection of the DSPs office had been cut because of non-payment of dues. Another funny situation emerged during the ministers visit to the Government College for Boys, Chichawatni, where assistant commissioners cell number was written incorrect. The minister visited the government colleges and a high school. He directed the building department officials to accomplish construction work at educational institutions soon. Right. They got right on it. | |
