Caretaker Sindh Information Minister Ahmed Shah has said that intelligence agencies including the Intelligence Bureau and Inter-Services Intelligence have made comprehensive plans to tackle any untoward incident at polling stations in the province.

People who try to steal votes will be disappointed, he said at a press conference in Karachi.

“We have clear-cut instructions from top to bottom,” he highlighted. “First line of defence is the police, the second line of defence is Rangers and the army’s Quick Response Force will also be nearby.”

Shah further assured that the army was standing behind the public, the interim government and the Election Commission of Pakistan.
