Sindh Inspector General Riffat Mukhtar Raja has instructed officials to enhance the election security plan in light of the recent law and order challenges in the provincial capital.

Chairing a meeting today, the police chief emphasised that any information regarding “minor incidents” should not be disregarded. Instead, prompt follow-up actions must be taken to prevent the situation from worsening.

He urged the expansion of the intelligence network at polling stations and their surrounding areas. “Swift responses are essential for addressing code of conduct violations during patrolling.

He said there should be an increased focus on random snap checks, reconnaissance, and heightened monitoring of areas,“ he instructed the officials.

It is pertinent to mention here that a law and order situation escalated on Friday night in the New Karachi area as political workers from two parties clashed, resulting in the death of a teenager.
