Pakistan is one of the safest and most beautiful countries for tourists! The hospitality here is unmatched, people welcome foreigners with open hearts and love. Don't believe the negative media, come and experience the incredible culture and safety yourself!"

Muhammad Nadeem Ahmad on May 01, 2025:

Lahore is lively and safe city. There are some bad people everywhere in the world and you have to be cautious.

Saad Khan on Mar 04, 2024:

People are accomodating. Police, courts, and government officials are corrupt. Comparing to other big cities in Pakistan, Lahore is a much safer place to live in.

Lahore is no longer a safe city to live in or even visit. Murders and crime are on the rise. Police do nothing about crime and more so focus on other little things which have nothing to do with their jobs. Only recently has a sharp spike in murders and robberies happened. PTI is doing nothing about this and heck I would say that PML(N), a more corrupt and dystopian kind of government did a better job of securing Lahore and preventing crime from happening. Corruption problems are only getting worse as time passes on.

Qasim Khan on Mar 23, 2021:

The situation on ground is really alarming. There is phenomenal rise in crime in Lahore in last few months. Corruption is rampant and you cannot get anything done without greasing the palms of police officials. No proper forum to complain in Lahore Police. Heard that police leadership of Lahore is busy infighting and in conspiracies against each other. Where is PM Imran Khan’s good governance ?

Rana Azhar Naveed on Mar 02, 2021:

Very bad crime and law and order situation. People are being looted in broad day light and PM Imran and CM Buzdar (Wasim Akram Plus) are enjoying. No place to make any complaint. How such a situation is allowed to continue. Only Allah Almighty can help in such a critical situation.

Qaiser Ali Malik on Jan 30, 2021:

The crime situation is getting worse on ground. There is phenomenal rise in crime in Lahore in last few months. Corruption is rampant and nothing can be got done without greasing the palms of Lahore police officers. A friend of mine has personally suffered at the hands of corrupt police officers of Lahore Police. Shame on PM Imran’s government.

Hashim Raza on Dec 20, 2020:

Crime and security situation in Lahore is getting bad every day. Police needs to focus on street crime and crime against property . Police has to improve its performance as reportedly there is no political interference now. PM Imran Khan is standing firmly behind CCPO Lahore. No more excuses for such poor showing by Lahore police. Patience is running out for Lahories !!

I dont think this city is safe anymore. Too many murders happening for it to be a coincidence.

Asif Nisar Gondal on Dec 05, 2020:

The situation on ground is really alarming. The CCPO Umer Sheikh is the worst officer that has headed Lahore police. How come such a person has reached this position. He needs mental treatment immediately. There is phenomenal rise in crime in Lahore in last few months. Corruption is rampant and you cannot get anything done without greasing the palms of police officials. No proper forum to complain in Lahore Police. Heard that police leadership of Lahore is busy infighting and in conspiracies against each other. My close friends have personally suffered at the hands of Lahore Police last month and nothing response so far. Where is PM Imran Khan’s good governance ? He needs to wake up from his deep slumber!

Mian Majid Ali on Nov 14, 2020:

The crime situation on ground lis very bad. There is phenomenal rise in crime in Lahore in last few weeks. Corruption is rampant and you cannot get anything done without greasing the palms of policemen. No proper forum to complain in Lahore Police. I have personally suffered at the hands of Lahore Police. Time is running out fast for PM Imran government !

Raja Fazal Rehman on Nov 14, 2020:

Police needs to focus on street crime and crime against weaker segments of society like children, women and minorities. Police must improve its performance as there is no political interference now. No more excuses for poor showing by Lahore police. Security and crime situation is getting worse day by day in Lahore. Needs immediate response

Ishaq Husain on Oct 31, 2020:

Very bad situation. Crime is soaring, people are being looted in day light and PM Imran and Wasim Akram Plus are making merry. No place to complain. How such a situation is allowed to continue. Only Allah Almighty can help in such a critical situation.

Hafeez Khan on Oct 31, 2020:

The situation on ground is terrible. The new CCPO Umer Sheikh is the worst thing that has happened to Lahore. It is amazing how such a person has reached this position. He needs medical treatment immediately. Consequently, there is phenomenal rise in crime in Lahore in last few months. Corruption is rampant and you cannot get anything done without greasing the palms of police officials. No proper forum to complain in Lahore Police. Heard that police leadership of Lahore is busy infighting and conspiracies. I have personally suffered at the hands of Lahore Police last month and nothing positive have come out so far. Very bad situation. PM Imran Khan needs total notice of it immediately.
