Checking the demand for drugs should be the main focus rather than the general policing of locking up the drug abusers, said Prof Angela Hawken, an expert from New York University on drugs, crime and corruption.

Prof Angela is director of Marron Institute of Urban Management with New York University. Based on her interaction with police personnel, she said there was a need to provide a shift-based system to the police. “The main demand of the constabulary and higher ranks is for having a shift-based system along with weekly
offs for better performance. Policing in Punjab is a round-the-clock job unlike in the US and other countries,” she said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
