CPLC……(not) willing to help!
Though some might disagree, CPLC is generally known for their courteous behavior. I for one have not been entirely disappointed by them till a few minutes ago.
Incidentally, I bought a used car yesterday and before making the full payment, I wish to get the registration details verified by CPLC.
The contact numbers for CPLC verification that I got are: 568-2222 & 568-3333.
The 2222 number continuously busy, or no response for the past 1.5 hours, however, the 3333 number is most disappointing.
A lady picks up the phone, and without letting me complete the sentence says, “call 5682222″ and hangs up the phone. I called the number again to ask for an alternative number, but she did the same.
I called a third time and could even say “hello”. She picked up, said to call 2222 number and hung up!
I called the fourth time, told her to let me complete, but alas…..she sort of scolds me for calling that number and hangs up!
In a time when we see drastic improvements in KESC and PTCL call centers, are we losing the quality of call handling by CPLC?
Anyone else faced the same problem? I say give it a go right now!

As someone who has worked closely with CPLC on different cases – I think of CPLC as an organization as ‘over-rated’. There’s no doubt that CPLC has gained ground; especially with regards to kidnapping and ransom related crimes but keeping the records in mind – I would rate the organization’s performance ‘average’.
National Security Advisor(s) office which will be established at the PM(s) secretariat under the command of Gen (r) Durrani (ex-ambassador to the USA) where heads of three intelligence agencies will meet regularly to share intelligence and co-ordinate joint operations under one command is a welcome step and we need more ‘command centers’ like this in different parts of Pakistan – especially a unified command centre for better policing and response to a crime scene in every city to be step up by the Police, City Government, Forensic Department, Fire Brigade, Bomb Disposal and a Quick Para-medical unit with at least two helicopters at disposal 24/7.
