Centre, Punjab once again at loggerheads over Lahore CCPO transfer

The PTI government in Punjab is once again at loggerheads with the Center as Chief Minister Pervez Elahi has directed Lahore Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Ghulam Mahmood Dogar not to leave the charge of his duties despite the orders of his transfer by the federal government, The News reported.

In an unexpected move, the federal government had withdrawn the services of CCPO Ghulam Mahmood Dogar and directed him to report to the Establishment Division for further order.

However, Elahi refusing to abide by the orders, said that the Centre had no power to order the transfer. 

“Removing or transferring the CCPO is my authority,” he said.
