Sindh Inspector General (IG) Rifat Mukhtar Raja has directed officials to ensure foolproof security measures outside polling stations in the province for the safety of voters, candidates, polling staff and polling materials.

“Keeping in mind previous elections, nothing should be lacking in security measures,” he said while speaking to officials outside Commerce College. “We need to be alert and ready outside the polling stations at all times,” he said.

He noted that measures for deploying officials had been completed and polling material had also arrived.

“The QRF (Quick Response Force) is also ready and alert. District SSPs have identified sensitive and highly sensitive polling stations,” he said.
