The Sargodha regional police and the University of Sargodha have agreed to jointly launch public awareness programmes focusing on drug prevention, traffic regulations, cybersecurity, online fraud and public legal awareness.
The understanding was reached during a meeting between Regional Police Officer (RPO) Sargodha Sohail Akhtar Sukhera, Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Tasawar Hayat (H.I., S.I., T.I.) and office-bearers of the Sargodha Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the university.
Mr. Sohail Akhtar Sukhera said higher education institutions play a vital role in promoting social awareness and contributing to community development. He said the police, alongside their responsibility for protecting lives and property, are working to educate citizens through coordinated initiatives in line with the Punjab government's directions.
He said the university's academic and research resources could help strengthen these initiatives and engage students and the wider community in addressing social challenges.
Prof. Dr. Tasawar Hayat said institutional collaboration alone are not enough without responsible citizenship and collective efforts towards character building. He said the university has been already working with public-sector departments, particularly the police, to promote awareness among students and citizens.
Pro Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Masood Sarwar Awan and Chamber President Qaisar Mahmood Kharl were also present.
During the visit, Mr. Sukhera, Prof. Dr. Tasawar Hayat and Qaisar Mahmood Kharal planted citrus saplings on the university campus to raise the importance of plantation.
