The one-day visit included a guard of honour and talks at the DPO office with the Astore Peace Committee, the Rama Grand Jirga and civil society representatives.
Regional Police Officer for the Diamer-Astore Range Imran Shahid visited Astore on 10 November and met peace committee members, jirga representatives and civil society groups at the District Police Officer's office, UrduPoint reported, in a one-day trip focused on law and order and crime prevention.
A police contingent presented him with a guard of honour as he arrived, and police officers and personnel were present, the outlet reported.
Those at the meetings included representatives of the Astore Peace Committee, the Headquarters Action Committee, the Rama Grand Jirga, human rights organisations and civil society.
The discussions covered the overall situation in Astore, the maintenance of law and order, crime prevention and public issues, according to UrduPoint. The representatives briefed the RPO on problems in their own areas, on public concerns and on the security situation.
Mr Shahid listened to their suggestions and concerns and said close coordination and cooperation between the police and the public was necessary for lasting peace in the area. All sections of society had to play a positive role in improving law and order and in eliminating crime, he said.
The RPO and the DPO Astore thanked the participants and said all available resources would be used to ensure lasting peace, eliminate crime, stop the spread of drugs, hold transparent investigations and protect the lives and property of the people.
The police would continue to work with dedication and professionalism to protect the public and ensure the rule of law, they said, and efforts to improve law and order would continue with the public's cooperation.
