Nearly 12,781 police officers have been deployed across Karachi, according to a police spokesman on Saturday. Following directives from Additional Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Karachi, Imran Yaqoob Minhas, the deployment includes a substantial force across various zones: 5,600 officers in the East Zone, 3,656 in the South Zone, and 3,525 in the West Zone.
To enhance security measures further, approximately 2,170 officers and personnel have been assigned to oversee the collection points for sacrificial animal hides, a sensitive area during the festivities. Security protocols have been intensified at major shopping centers, markets, and other crowded locations to prevent any untoward incidents. Additionally, the traffic police have been instructed to ensure smooth traffic flow throughout the city during the Eid celebrations, minimizing congestion and ensuring public safety. This comprehensive deployment underscores Karachi’s commitment to maintaining peace and security during one of the most significant religious celebrations of the year.
