Sindh police chief Mushtaq Ahmed Mahar has issued a threat warning regarding potential terror attacks based on intelligence reports and interrogations of militants from various organizations performed by counterterrorism wings.
The Sindh police chief issued a circular warning that possible sabotage actions may occur in the first few days of September, particularly between September 4 and September 7.
Miscreants in Pakistan, particularly in Sindh’s interior, may employ locally manufactured crackers and hand grenades to create anarchy or a climate of fear and intimidation, he added.
The provincial police chief instructed relevant police officials to ensure security at railway stations, electricity, gas, and railway lines, bus terminals, bus stands, power transmission lines, markets, wholesale fruit and vegetable markets, and other locations in their jurisdictions where large crowds gather.
The Sindh police chief has instructed authorities to increase police patrols in certain locations to guarantee that the lives and property of residents and government employees are properly protected.
