The Sindh police chief has ordered "extraordinary security arrangements" for the distribution of free food ration at Ramazan Bachat Bazaars by philanthropists.
According to a police spokesperson, Sindh Inspector General (IG) Ghulam Nabi Memon said that the large turnout and scramble for rations could result in disorder and a possible stampede. Therefore, police should keep in touch with organisers of such bachat bazaars and philanthropists.
"It is the responsibility of the police to protect the life and property of people," he said and ordered fool-proof security should at mosques, imambargahs and other places during congregational Taraweeh prayers.
IG Memon also ordered patrolling, snap checking and picketing around the places where Taraweeh prayers are offered. He ordered coordinated and effective security measures in all districts of the province.
On Sunday, the stall of an individual selling fruits and vegetables at subsidised rates near the Central Jail was ransacked.
