The meeting saw the participation of key officials, including SSP Operations, Zonal SPs, SDPOs, and SHOs. During the discussion, it was decided that all officers would organise rallies within their respective areas to mark the occasion and remain active in the field to maintain law and order. The officials were also instructed to ensure smooth traffic flow throughout the city.

A key focus of the meeting was the crackdown on dangerous activities such as one-wheeling. The Islamabad Police plan to take strict action against one-wheeling and workshops involved in the manufacturing of motorcycles used for this purpose. Furthermore, a campaign will be launched against vehicles with non-standardised and fancy number plates.

Special security measures were also discussed, including the deployment of special forces at entertainment venues and markets, as well as increased patrolling by police station mobiles, CTD commandos, and the Dolphin Force. DIG Islamabad made it clear that harassment and any violation of the law would not be tolerated under any circumstances.
