Punjab Police has cancelled a directive that had advised officers to wear civilian clothes while commuting.
Earlier this month, Punjab Police issued an advisory instructing its personnel to wear civilian attire while commuting to and from work. The advisory was subsequently withdrawn by the police department, which stated that the directive had been issued in error. The decision comes as part of a review of uniform policies across the force, with officers expected to continue wearing the standard police uniform during official duties. No further details have been released regarding the rationale behind the initial advisory or the factors that prompted its cancellation.
