Mr. Shaukat Aziz said that time has come to change the old Thana culture and adopt modern investigating techniques to combat the crimes.

The Prime Minister also asked the police to improve its standard of training and behaviour by bringing positive change in their attitude. He said the government is also working on a plan to reform the police system making it more public friendly.

The use of authority within the limits of law guarantees justice in society, he said adding, "you are a symbol of authority in uniform and your every good work would bring good name to the government and peace in the society."●
