He emphasized the importance of addressing the prevailing law and order challenges, particularly in the upper areas of Sindh and Karachi, stressing the need to intensify efforts against dacoits. Expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation, Minister Lanjar called for a concerted push to rid districts like Kashmore, Ghotki, and Shikarpur of dacoits.
He issued a stern warning to SSPs, indicating that those failing to fulfill their duties would face replacement.
