| 2018-04-21 |
| [DAWN] Acting on the directives of Chief Justice Saqib Nisar, Sindh Inspector General Police A.D Khowaja on Friday ordered the immediate withdrawal of security protocol provided to influential individuals not entitled to official security. This order will see around 4,000 coppers returning to actual police duty in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... only, which to some extent will help control street crimes, officials said. The provincial police chief directed Additional IGs of Karachi, Special Branch, CTD, Traffic, Crime Branch and DIGs of Karachi’s East, West and South Zone and CIA, DIGs of Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Sukkur, Larkana, Shaheed Benazirabad ranges, DIGs of SRP and SRR, the Commandant of SSU, Karachi, and all District SSPs in Sindh to withdraw the police security from those persons who are not legally entitled. "The police security provided to all unauthorised persons shall immediately be withdrawn," reads the order issued by Khowaja. An officer of Karachi police told Dawn that following this order around 4,000 coppers would be withdrawn from security duty in Karachi only, "which would help police immensely in terms of overcoming the shortcoming of manpower". |
