The IG also took a look at his citizens

The elements spreading unrest in the country continue their efforts in every era, these individuals and groups aim to harm Pakistan and spoil the image of peaceful Pakistan around the world. The country’s history is replete with sacrifices of security and law enforcement agencies as well as civilians against these elements.

In recent days, terrorists attacked the car of foreign guests in Mansehra Colony area of ​​Karachi. The police personnel foiled the attack by showing bravery. The terrorists who attacked were killed on the spot. Later, the new Sindh IG Ghulam Nabi Memon invited the Malir Police team along with SSP Malir Tariq Mastoi to the Central Police Office Karachi, where Constable Qasim Habib was given a reward of five lakhs and recommended for the Quaid-e-Azam Police Medal. While the rest of the team personnel were also given cash prizes and certificates of appreciation.

This initiative of IG Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon is commendable. He lauded the performance of the security guards of the foreign guests risking their lives and also praised their SSP. After this excellent initiative, IG Sindh is requested that there are many Pakistani citizens living in Karachi, the security of these Pakistani citizens is also the responsibility of the same police officers who have made the country famous by performing this excellent feat.

IG sir, take the account of the district of the admirable SSP Malir apart from the rest of Karachi. There is no area where people are safe. Hundreds of people are losing their motorcycles, cars, cash and mobiles on a daily basis. This situation is not only in Malir, but from posh areas of Karachi to slums, people are insecure. With the mention of slums, you must have remembered the conditions of slums? IG Sindh Sahib Kacha To Kacha, people are hanging out while withdrawing cash from ATMs even in ripe areas.

If the middle-class young people who work hard work come out with salaries, then they don’t know whether the salary will be the reason for their children’s happiness or sadness. Because there have been many incidents in this city where people were killed by street criminals at their doorsteps. How can citizens defend themselves? Can an ordinary citizen legally obtain an arms license? Can an ordinary citizen buy weapons? Now in order to survive in Karachi, the citizens sell the goods of their homes and obtain arms licenses and then buy arms, but do they have the right to self-defense? If a street criminal is injured by them in self-defense, who will protect them from this law?

IG sir heard you said in a private gathering that there are incidents in Karachi but not as much as the media shows. Sir do you know why there is such a difference between the number of reported incidents and media reports? Because the sources say that most of the people’s report is not cut, they are told that if the report is cut, it will have to be taken from the found motorcycle or mobile court. Then, the unfortunate resident of Karachi, who is an employed person, is surrounded by the police station so much that he forgets what happened to him and goes to work. Dear IG Sindh, it is certainly difficult for you to fix the police department and the situation, but not impossible. Be sure to get reports from your officers as well as citizens, then you will understand the seriousness of the situation.

It is hoped that if the new IG tries and is given time, the situation in the city will improve, but along with the police, citizens also have to protect their lives and property. There is a dire need for Mohalla Committees in Karachi at this time. Citizens should not take the law into their own hands but safety committees should be established in small and big markets and areas. These committees must keep an eye on the people coming and going in the street, as well as organize the guarding of the shops in the markets or the houses in the neighborhoods by pooling funds among themselves. This is the only solution by which your life and property will be protected, if not completely, but to some extent.

Also remember that whether Karachi is a posh area or a middle class area, every area has slums and slums along or on empty plots in these areas. Most of the people living in these populations do not have the data of any institution. The people living in these settlements go here today and settle somewhere else tomorrow, many of these people are also involved in crimes. The city government along with the police must first eliminate these populations from the city.
