Security at shrines: Surveillance capabilities upgraded

KARACHI: Online surveillance systems are being installed at three major shrines in Sindh to prevent possible terrorist attacks at shrines said Auqaf Minister Abdul Haseeb.

Speaking at a “Better Business” presentation at his office, Haseeb said that the shrines include those of Abdullah Shah Ghazi, Bhit Shah and Lal Shahbaz Qalandar.

The system will be installed within a week.

Thereafter, the surveillance capabilities of Sachal Sarmast’s shrine, and others, will also be upgraded.
