Additional IGP Karachi, Additional IGP CTD, Additional IGP Special Branch, all DIGs, the Joint DG Intelligence Bureau, and senior officials of the Rangers and intelligence agencies also attended the meeting.

It was decided to further strengthen joint operations of the Rangers, police, and intelligence agencies against terrorists and miscreants, and to enhance checking at the entry and exit points of the provincial capital.

The law enforcement agencies also chalked out a strategy to curb extortion, targeted killings, illegal display of arms, and other crimes. Under the plan, foolproof security would be provided to the business community and foreigners through effective patrolling and snap checking.
