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.
