The city police have devised a strategy to maintain peace in the metropolis regarding growing concern among the people due to stringent lockdown measures. This was decided at a high-level meeting chaired by city police chiefGhulamNabiMemonthe other day. “I have given instructions to zonal DIGs and district SSPs in a meeting to ensure peace and security in Karachi during the coronavirus emergency,” he said.
Elaborating the instructions, he said frustration in the general public might increase if the situation did not improve. “In that case, we have to make our reserves ready to move in order to deal with any unpleasant situation. Zonal DIGs and district SSPs shall personally inspect their reserves and ensure inclusion of most suitable manpower for them besides giving them appropriate anti-riot gear for such a duty,” he said.
