Intelligence Offices Should Be Moved Away from Residential Areas
By Mohsin Sehgal • Mar 11th, 2010 • Category: Politics • 4 CommentsHighly secretive and sensitive offices and safe houses of the intelligence agencies are established in the residential areas of major cities of the country, especially in Lahore. These offices were established when these areas were sparsely populated and were away from the main city. But now as the cities have expanded a lot with rapid pace, these offices are now in the middle of the masses, and they are no more secret.
Not only they have lost their very purpose of being secretive and occult, they are also a soft target for the anti-social, anti-Pakistan and terrorists elements. In these days of terrorism, there is a dire and urgent need that these offices should be transfered to some other place, out of the cities.
That is not only safe for the intelligence agencies and their investigation processes, but also very much safe for the citizens, who dwell nearby. The recent attacks on the offices of the intelligence agencies in Lahore have caused numerous civilian deaths and injuries. The bosses concerned must take immediate action.

The presence of security offices in residential areas is risk for both the officials and the residents. As the security cannot be ensured due to the layout of the residential areas and thus puts the lives of general public in danger. Such offices need to be moved to out of residential areas and constructed as per the threats of terrorism. Moreover the security needs to be beefed up as such interrogation facilities are the primary targets of Taliban.
I agree. As the agencies are doing a fabulous job against the terrorists so they are on their hit list. Just to avoid any collateral damage, it would be advisable to shift the offices of such agencies form the residential areas.
Safety measures must be taken. This way the residential areas will also be safe. The militants all over have shook hands in search of victory and they all are uniting as to attack the military and government offices of Pakistan. Transferring these sites to a safe country side place would be a good idea.
its right and our government should take an immediate action
