The law and order situation in the country is quite satisfactory compared to the past and there are indications that it will improve further in days to come. The improvement is the result of our successful offensives against terrorism. There may have been some isolated disturbances but in the long run we are moving towards restoring peace permanently. Terrorism has complicated the law and order situation, including crime control and investigation. That is why we have joined with other security agencies to maintain law and order. It has already been three years since we implemented a four-year strategic plan to strengthen the police force. It lays out clear-cut tasks that police headquarters, the departments and other agencies must complete. The aim of this strategic planning is to institutionalise the organisation and to keep it free from the whims of a single person. Under this process, we have established an inspection cell at headquarters and have activated different units to check human rights violations and the abuse of authority by any personnel. We have also formed a task force to prepare a 20-year vision for our organisation. The concept of unified command has certainly worked. But the fact remains that we still have inadequate resources to perform our duties fully. We don't even have enough manpower to handle the growing population, urbanisation and the complexity of today's crimes. Compared to other SAARC countries, we still lag behind when it comes to manpower.
