An ITP spokesperson said the initiative aims to bring police services closer to the public, reduce crowding at offices, and simplify access to routine documentation and verification services.
Meanwhile, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has opened bids for the construction of nine new police stations in Islamabad. According to the project’s PC-I, the construction will be completed within six months once work begins.
The police stations, which are currently operating without purpose-built buildings, will now have dedicated facilities in Shams Colony, Khanna, Humak, Koral, Nilor, Sangjani, Kirpa, Phulgran, and Lohi Bher. CDA officials said the total estimated cost of the project was Rs966 million, but the received bids were 15 to 25 percent lower than expected.
A CDA official said, “Bids have been opened and the file is under process for bid acceptance. After this, we will issue work orders to start construction.” He added that the Bani Gala Police Station will be built separately by the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) at Margalla Enclave, a joint venture between CDA and DHA.

CDA Member Engineering Syed Naafat Raza said that work orders would be issued soon. “As per the instructions of the Interior Minister and CDA Chairman, we will complete this project on a priority basis,” he said, adding that transparency helped attract very competitive bid rates. “Hopefully, we will complete the construction of these police stations before the deadline,” he added.
Raza further said that new police stations were much needed, as many were currently functioning in temporary or private buildings.
Meanwhile, CDA officials said that under two separate projects, existing police stations in Islamabad are also being renovated. In the first phase, work at six police stations is near completion, with design improvements being made to enhance backend operations. In the second phase, nine more police stations will be renovated and given a facelift.
