LAHORE: Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Saturday presided over a meeting to review law and order in the province and the security situation on Quaid-i-Azam Day and the Christmas.

He directed the authorities to ensure foolproof security to protect life and property of the people. He said the security plan should be implemented strictly because protection of life and property of the people is top priority.

He said special attention should be paid on the security of churches, markets, bazaars and parks and the police force can be increased as per needs.
