Sindh Chief Minister, Murad Ali Shah, acknowledged a worsening law and order situation in the province’s capital, Karachi.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Shah conceded that crime rates had risen in recent months, despite earlier concerns.
“The law and order situation is not satisfactory,” Shah said, “There has been an increase in crimes, and it’s not good.” He added that the government is taking measures to regain control and expressed hope for improvement.
This admission comes amidst Senate elections, where Shah confidently predicted a clean sweep for his Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) due to a boycott by rivals. However, his comments highlight a pressing issue for Karachi residents facing a rise in criminal activity.
Shah’s acknowledgement of the problem and his commitment to addressing it could signal a shift in focus for the Sindh government.
Karachi, Pakistan’s economic hub, relies heavily on stability and security. Citizens will be looking for concrete actions to follow these words and ensure a safer environment.
