SSP (Operations) Hasan Javed explained that the order was issued due to security concerns. “There is no identification if the face is veiled, and a terrorist could disguise themselves in such attire,” he stated.
Station House Officer (SHO) Madiha Irshad confirmed that they have received the new order. “Orders have been received to keep the faces visible, and we are taking steps to enforce this directive without delay,” she said.
