Inspector General of Police(IGP )Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Zulfiqar Hameed, paid a special visit to Mardan District, where he inaugurated the newly constructed building of Rustam Police Station, established in 1836. During the inauguration ceremony, IGP highlighted the historical significance of the police station, saying, “Rustam Police Station is a very important police station established during the Sikh era and remained important during the British era as well, which can be gauged from the historical impressions written by the British officers during their visit to the police station. Even in the present era, this police station has considerable importance due to its proximity to the mountainous area of Buner district.” The IGP inspected the newly constructed building of Rustam Police Station, which included the SHO office, ladies desk & restroom, Muharrar office, kot, lockup and barracks.
