Inspector General of Police Gilgit-Baltistan Declares Multiple Police Services Free of Cost

Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan-administered Kashmir – In line with the clear directives of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Gilgit-Baltistan, several services provided at police service centers have been made completely free for citizens.

These services include the issuance of police character certificates, employee verification, driving license verification, and the online registration of old driving licenses. All these facilities are now being offered to the public without any charges, solely for the purpose of public service.

However, recent observations have revealed a concerning trend where certain individuals, often posing as “care-of” applicants for others, are illegally charging citizens for these free services. This practice is not only unlawful but also constitutes public exploitation, undermining the police department’s commitment to transparency and service.
