Karachi (April 21, 2018): Acting on the directives of Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar, Sindh Inspector General Police AD 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 policemen returning to actual police duty in Karachi 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“The police security provided to all unauthorised persons shall immediately be withdrawn,” reads the order issued by Khowaja.
Earlier on Thursday, the apex court had directed the inspectors general of police of the four provinces and Islamabad to withdraw security provided to unauthorised persons by Friday.
