The forum dwelt at length on various professional matters. The commanders also took a comprehensive review of prevalent internal and external security situation of the country.
The meeting coincided with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif chalking out a new security plan to restore peace in Karachi, which rules out the possibility of an army intervention in the megalopolis.

Khan said the operation would be supervised by a committee headed by the Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah.
