In a bid to bolster security measures for Karachi’s residents, authorities are contemplating the installation of fencing along the Northern Bypass.
Inspector General of Sindh (IG) Ghulam Nabi Memon chaired a meeting at the Central Police Office (CPO), attended by high-ranking officials including Deputy Inspector Generals (DIGs) and Assistant Inspector Generals (AIGs), to discuss security preparations ahead of Eidul Azha.
During the session, IG Sindh stressed the significance of implementing a monitoring system on entry and exit routes of Karachi, particularly the Northern Bypass. Such a system would deter criminals from fleeing following illicit activities, including illegal trafficking.
To ensure effective surveillance and response, Ghulam Nabi Memon directed the establishment of police checkpoints and the deployment of personnel equipped with body-worn cameras at key entry and exit points in Karachi.
Additionally, proposals for installing fences along roads were solicited to fortify security measures across the city further. Expressing confidence in these initiatives, the IG anticipated a substantial reduction in crime rates across Karachi.
Furthermore, District Police Officers were instructed to activate checkpoints within their jurisdictions to enhance local-level security.
Last year’s incidents of armed robberies targeting customers and traders returning from cattle markets underscored the pressing need for improved security measures in the area.
Ahead of Eidul Azha, crowds converge in large numbers at cattle markets across the city, a tradition that necessitates heightened security protocols to safeguard citizens and prevent criminal activities.
