The Punjab Police has spent over Rs 2.45 billion on a comprehensive welfare program for its employees and their families during 2025, providing substantial funds for healthcare initiatives, including special surgeries for children.
Under the direction of Inspector General of Police (IG) Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar, the department implemented significant measures in key areas of support. These initiatives aimed to enhance education, health services, housing, marriage assistance, and the overall financial security of its personnel.
A core component of the welfare scheme was the provision of extensive medical facilities for police staff and their dependents. This included treatment for serious illnesses and funding for complex procedures like cochlear implant surgeries.
The department also prioritized the families of martyred officers, providing educational and training opportunities for their children and housing assistance. The welfare package also included retirement grants, subsistence allowances, and legal aid for both serving and former members of the force.
In a statement, IG Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar reiterated the administration’s commitment, stating, “A bright future for the children of Punjab Police martyrs and the welfare and protection of personnel are our top priorities.”
