Pakistan: The Punjab government has transferred 30 officers in a clean sweep of Lahore police commanders following violent protests by the proscribed group Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), local media reported on Friday.

According to The News International, there were rumours of yet another major reshuffle in the Punjab Police Force due to the TLP's poor handling of violent protests and a long march, and the Punjab chief minister interviewed three officers for the position of CCPO on Wednesday.

Senior police officers in Lahore, Gujranwala, and Sheikhupura have been chastised following the TLP's long march and riots, which resulted in the deaths of three cops and the injuries of over 70 others. According to The News International, Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar and the Law Minister met with the IGP several times and finalised the names of officers who would be removed immediately. Meanwhile, the Punjab Chief Minister gave his initial approval to the summary for the revocation of the TLP's proscribed status that was sent to him on Thursday.
