DISTRICT POLICE

The first Superintendent of Police, Mr W. Gaventry, was posted in
Muzaffargarh in 1911. The Police was assisted in its functions of preventing
and detecting crimes by lambardars, tappedars and chowkidars. The local
system of watch and ward, Thikri Pehra, was also in vogue. In those days,
horses were mostly used for the purposes of patrolling (gasht) and
transportation. Owing to riverain area, murder, kidnapping and cattle theft
were the major crimes in the district. Head Constables and Assistant Sub-
Inspectors were generally appointed as incharge of police stations.
