KARACHI, Oct 8: In what is seen as the biggest reshuffle of town police officers so far, the government of Sindh has ordered transfer and posting of six TPOs, most of whom enjoying good reputation.
Those removed as TPO have been ordered to report to the Central Police Office.
A handout to this effect, issued here on Sunday, reads: “The government of Sindh has finally moved strongly to implement the fresh strategy adopted/finalised for combating street crimes in Karachi.
“In this regard, a three member committee comprising Adviser to the CM on home affairs Waseem Akhtar, Provincial police chief Jehangir Mirza and City police chief Niaz Ahmed Siddiqui discussed performance of TPOs in detail.”
According to the handout, after an analyzing the crime rate of each town, the committee finally decided to replace all those TPOs under whose jurisdiction the street crime is not under control.
The idea behind the move is to introduce and implement a proper strategy to curb street crimes, besides formulating a task to be assigned to a police team to deliver its best.
