00:00 Now we are going to talk about Islamabad city.

00:03 When we talk about Islamabad, we say that it is a city with a lot of political parties.

00:08 But now crimes are increasing there and this is a very disturbing thing.

00:14 Criminals are increasing rapidly.

00:16 Now the police has adopted a new method to control them.

00:20 What is the method?

00:21 Now the police has introduced a mobile phone app for tracking black sheep.

00:28 And through the ICT15 app, the police can track any crime, any illegal action, any

00:34 unfortunate incident and other information through this app.

00:39 Great.

00:40 And the police will immediately report it to the police.

00:43 Let's see what happens.

00:45 But it's good.

00:46 The use of technology is a great thing.

00:49 We have with us, IJ Islamabad Police Dr. Akbar Nasir Khan.

00:54 Thank you very much for being with us.

00:56 Please tell us what will be the mechanism of this app?

01:00 How effective will it be?

01:02 Will it be only in the territory of Islamabad or will it be in the Nawahi areas as well?

01:12 Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to talk to you all.

01:23 The application will be available in Islamabad and people from any part of Islamabad can use

01:31 it.

01:32 The main purpose of this app is to involve the public in policing.

01:39 There are many places like Islamabad where there are safety cameras installed.

01:45 97% of the cameras are installed online.

01:49 But there are many places where it is not possible that the camera is present or the

01:56 police officer is present at all times.

01:59 But the public is there.

02:01 Our purpose was to install this application that it could have been told by calling on

02:05 1-5 and we did not have any other evidence other than someone's statement.

02:10 The purpose of this application is that if your car is parked somewhere and someone has

02:16 parked it, then you can take a picture of it with your mobile phone and send it to 1-5.

02:25 People sitting there can also see it and issue a complaint.

02:29 Another way is that if you have seen that a child is being abused or a woman is being

02:37 abused, you can also make a video and send it to the police.

02:45 Dr. Akbar, tell me one thing, this app can be used only when the police are on time and

02:53 immediate help and action from the police is also available.

02:58 What mechanism have you made for this?

03:01 You said that there is no police everywhere, there are people.

03:04 But how soon will the police reach?

03:06 See, Sadat Abdul Jabbar, the thing is that the system we have installed in Islamabad,

03:14 our response time is from 4 minutes to 8 minutes in normal conditions.

03:19 And on average, we get calls from about 4000 people.

03:23 There is one more thing that I would like to tell you through the program.

03:28 Even in that, about 90% of the calls are fake calls.

03:32 If those calls are not made and the right call is made, the police can reach from 4 to 8 minutes.

03:39 One thing.

03:40 The second thing is that the police, if I have permission, I will complete the talk.

03:44 The second thing is that there are many things in this, Mr. Ishfaq, it is not necessary that

03:49 the police have to reach immediately.

03:51 Your video evidence, your text message or your voice note with the picture or when it

03:57 reaches, we will try to see it and try to reach it by signing its invitation.

04:03 Yes, if you have a lot of emergency, then immediately send a video and call.

04:07 So, the police, God willing, reaches the main sectoral areas of Islamabad in 4 to 5 minutes

04:14 and then the remote areas can take at least 8 to 10 minutes.

04:18 But looking at it, the response will definitely be, God willing.

04:22 Now, please say that there is another factor in this, that of people's privacy.

04:27 Now, you said that there are fake calls themselves, then obviously the videos will be made everywhere,

04:32 will be made everywhere and you know that not everyone wants their picture to be made.

04:39 If there is a small incident, they will also make a video on it and send it, so can there

04:42 be any action on it?

04:44 I hope you are getting my point.

04:46 You are absolutely right that privacy is a very important thing.

04:49 The first thing for privacy is that when it is a matter of people's consciousness that

04:54 you do not interfere in the personal life of another person and obviously if someone

04:58 does something like this, when evidence comes, then this distraction comes first of all,

05:03 of the person who made it.

05:05 And the second thing comes when we see it, the distraction will be of our agent,

05:09 he has to see that is this interference in someone's personal life?

05:13 But there will also be a third thing with it, privacy will also be used as an excuse

05:18 when a person does something wrong or if he is harassing someone or there are such illegal

05:25 people who are involved in such proceedings in the media, they will absolutely resist it

05:31 because they will not be afraid that the evidence against them will reach the police.

05:36 But your point is absolutely right, it is a very good point that we must see privacy in this.

05:41 And if someone gives you material against the police that the police are harassing us

05:47 in this way, then will there be action?

05:49 Yes, absolutely action will be taken on it.

05:52 See, there are some people among the public who we dress up and they do something.

05:59 And if you have any complaint against the police officers, their attitude, their mannerisms,

06:05 if you have any complaints of corruption, then you must send us evidence.

06:11 One of its biggest purposes is to police the police.

06:14 And when this is the people's application, this is the application of people so that people

06:19 do not mark wrong things.

06:20 When they used to do it before, it was a matter of talk.

06:23 Now, because of modern technology, their tools have also come and we will also find out

06:28 where this incident has happened and the police have reached the time.

06:32 Sir, relevant authority, one last thing, a news about safe city cameras was circulating

06:37 in the past few days.

06:38 A camera of safe city was taken from the Margalla police station and its cost was also told

06:43 that it is of such a cost.

06:44 And then things came up in terms of the maintenance of some cameras.

06:47 So, are you satisfied with what you have over there now?

06:50 Yes, you know that there is a method of reporting wrong news, which was completely wrong about

06:57 its maintenance.

06:59 And for that, we have also sent a notice to the people of that newspaper that spreading

07:05 misinformation is a crime in Pakistan.

07:08 And the second one is that what you are saying about the camera is our own maintenance

07:13 mechanism by which we know things and we keep watching all things.

07:17 And we have only told people that news because we want things to be transparent.

07:22 But in Islamabad, as I said, 97% cameras are online and functioning on a daily basis.

07:29 And we are trying to get some 2000 more cameras.

07:32 This is a good step.

07:33 I hope this technology is utilized in a better way.

07:36 Thank you so much Dr. Abul Hamid Sahib.
