police, faraiz


Explanation:
Police is the word used in Urdu also. It is spelt as pe wao lam ye seen.

The police duties are generally called faraiz. But when it is to maintain law and order in a given area, we often say that "police badobast" has been done. If it is checking by using barriers, it does "naka bandi".

In this case no references are required
