KARACHI, Oct 10: Police have decided in principle to reintroduce charged parking system to control rising crimes of vehicle lifting in the metropolis.

Sindh IGP Jehangir Mirza disclosed this in a meeting of senior police officers held at Central Police Office here on Tuesday. He said the step was taken in light of the Street Crimes Fighting Plan proposed by Prime Minster Shaukat Aziz to curb street crimes.

Sindh IGP asked the police officials to point out active street criminal groups with the help of special branch and CID and ensure their arrest. He said that security personnel should be deputed at prominent places and advance information collection units should be reactivated in all police stations.—PPI
