Lahore: Ring Road Police has arrested a patrolling officer for watching Facebook and Rails on his mobile phone while on duty and registered a case against him under Section 155-C.
According to the Ring Road Authority, the officer was given to concerned custody after taking strict action for using social media instead of effectively monitoring public service and traffic.
The authority clarified that a zero tolerance policy is in place for unnecessary use of mobile phones during duty.
The Commandant of the Ring Road Police says that the primary responsibility of officers and personnel is to effectively manage traffic and provide timely facilities to citizens, while legal action will be taken without discrimination for negligence in duties or violation of discipline.
