Karachi’s law and order

E-Paper | June 13, 2026

THIS refers to Karachi’s law and order situation. The search operation should not be discontinued as law-enforcement agencies cannot perform their tasks efficiently if they are not fully empowered.

There must not be any political interference from any quarter. Every person living in Karachi considers himself unsafe. Lawlessness has hindered economic growth.

Law-enforcement agencies must also be deployed at every traffic signal in order to protect citizens from cellphone snatching incidents. This trend needs to be arrested forthwith.

I hope that Sindh government will look into these aspects very seriously without further loss of time.

The tugs are the ones who employed to protect us. The IG sindh should either clean up the mess or resigned.

the very root cause of law and order in karachi is that criminals have been recruited in police and ranger forces who fully support these criminals - a clean-up operation is needed in these department - I recently visited karachi and noticed myself. IG Sindh should open his eyes and tour the city - if he is scared he should resigned,as the chief justice said.
