Breaking News: Maryam Nawaz Inaugurates Punjab’s First Mobile Police Station and Licensing Unit
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has inaugurated the province’s first Mobile Police Station and Licensing Unit, marking a major milestone in citizen-friendly policing and digital governance. The new mobile unit will allow citizens to register FIRs, apply for or renew driving licenses, and access other essential police services without visiting traditional police stations.
This innovative step is part of the Punjab government’s broader plan to deliver public services at the doorstep and make government departments more transparent, efficient, and accessible for everyone.
A New Era of Citizen-Centered Policing
The mobile police station, developed under the supervision of the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) and the Punjab Police, is a fully digital, state-of-the-art van equipped with modern technology. Inside the vehicle, citizens can instantly file First Information Reports (FIRs), verify documents, and even obtain assistance for lost or stolen items.
For the first time in Punjab, the public will not need to stand in long queues at police offices. The system automatically syncs with the central database, ensuring fast verification and digital record-keeping.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said the initiative reflects her government’s goal of creating a “smart, safe, and service-oriented Punjab.”
Driving License Services Made Simple
The Mobile Licensing Unit is integrated into the same vehicle, making the driving license process more convenient than ever. Citizens can apply for learner licenses, renew existing ones, or update their personal details without visiting traffic offices.
The entire process — from biometric verification to fee payment — is handled digitally. The mobile licensing system is linked with the Traffic Police Department and the PSCA database, ensuring real-time data updates and eliminating any chance of duplication or corruption.
Officials said this service will particularly benefit people living in remote areas who often face challenges traveling to district offices for license renewals.

Focus on Women and Educational Institutions
The newly launched mobile police station and licensing unit will also visit girls’ education centers and working women hostels. This move ensures that women can access police and traffic services safely and easily, without the need to travel far.
Female police officers are part of the mobile team to make the environment more comfortable and secure for women. Maryam Nawaz emphasized that women’s safety and empowerment remain a top priority for her administration.
“Our government is committed to ensuring that every woman in Punjab feels safe, respected, and supported,”
said the Chief Minister during the inauguration ceremony.
This initiative ties into Punjab’s broader women safety and empowerment programs, which include Dastak App, Women Safety App, and the Smart Safe City project.
Maryam Nawaz’s Directions to Police Staff
After inspecting the mobile police van, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif interacted with the officers and staff present at the site. She praised the team for their dedication and instructed them to treat citizens with respect, patience, and empathy.
She added that the government is not just modernizing infrastructure but also reforming the behavioral culture of policing in Punjab.
“Technology can help us only when our officers show compassion. Every citizen who visits this mobile unit must feel heard and respected,”
she told the staff.
These directions are part of Maryam Nawaz’s ongoing efforts to promote ethical policing, transparency, and public trust in law enforcement.

Bringing Public Services to the Doorstep
The mobile police station is a part of the “Dastak Doorstep Services” model — a key component of Punjab’s Digital Governance Transformation plan. Under this model, citizens can soon access various services including health cards, property registration, vehicle documentation, and utility bill assistance through mobile units.
The Punjab government is also integrating these services with NADRA and online verification systems, reducing paperwork and saving citizens valuable time.
By combining technology and outreach, this step ensures equal access to public services for urban and rural communities alike.
Technology, Transparency, and Public Trust
Each mobile police unit is equipped with high-speed internet, fingerprint scanners, and CCTV cameras to ensure full transparency. Every transaction — whether it’s a license renewal or FIR registration — will generate a digital receipt and SMS confirmation for the citizen.
All data will be stored securely on government servers, monitored by the Punjab Safe Cities Authority. Officials believe this will help curb corruption, prevent manipulation of records, and strengthen citizens’ confidence in the police system.
This initiative aligns with the Chief Minister’s Digital Punjab Vision 2025, which aims to digitize all major government departments by the end of next year.
Public Appreciation and Expansion Plans
The people of Punjab have welcomed this initiative enthusiastically. Social media users have praised Maryam Nawaz for modernizing law enforcement and making citizen-friendly governance a reality.
Several residents of Lahore and nearby districts expressed hope that the service will soon expand across Punjab. The government has already announced plans to launch more mobile police stations in Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, and Gujranwala within the coming months.
Public response has been overwhelmingly positive, with many describing it as a “revolution in public service delivery.”

The Road Ahead: Modern Policing in Punjab
The Punjab government is working on a comprehensive e-policing strategy to connect all mobile units, police stations, and traffic offices through a central digital platform. The next phase includes:
- Launching an e-FIR mobile application for online complaints
- Introducing AI-based traffic monitoring systems
- Expanding mobile facilitation centers to every tehsil
These innovations are expected to redefine public safety and service quality across the province.
Final Thoughts
The inauguration of Punjab’s first Mobile Police Station and Licensing Unit by Maryam Nawaz Sharif represents a visionary leap toward smart governance and citizen empowerment.
For the first time, people can access essential services — from FIR registration to license renewal — without leaving their neighborhoods.
This mobile system merges technology with empathy, ensuring that governance truly reaches every citizen’s doorstep.
With this project, Punjab takes a bold step into a new era of digital, transparent, and people-first administration, fulfilling Maryam Nawaz’s promise to make government services simpler, faster, and fairer for everyone.
