Punjab Introduces Responsible Citizen Award to Promote Public Safety

The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) has officially launched the Responsible Citizen Award, a new initiative designed to encourage citizens to actively support law enforcement by reporting crimes, harassment, suspicious activities, accidents, and other emergencies through official reporting platforms.
According to PSCA, the initiative aims to strengthen cooperation between the public and law enforcement agencies, ensuring faster responses to emergencies and creating safer communities across Punjab.
The first Responsible Citizen Award was presented to a resident of Lahore who used the Public Safety App to report an abandoned child. Authorities responded promptly and successfully reunited the child with the family, highlighting the importance of timely public reporting.
Officials emphasized that responsible citizens can play a significant role in improving public safety by reporting incidents without delay. PSCA has urged people across Punjab to use official channels whenever they witness criminal activity or emergency situations.
The Responsible Citizen Award is expected to encourage greater community participation and strengthen trust between citizens and public safety institutions.
