KARACHI:
The Sindh government planned to transfer officials of the Karachi police, yet again, but this time the reshuffling will take place on a much larger scale, The Express Tribune learnt on Wednesday.
The provincial government was not satisfied with the current personnel and now, with the transfers, hopes to get breakthroughs in the ongoing ‘targeted’ operations and raids across the metropolis.
According to a senior police official, Sindh Chief Secretary Chaudhry Aijaz Ahmed and Sindh Inspector General Police (IGP) Shahid Nadeem Baloch were called at the Sindh Chief Minister House with the summary regarding the reshuffling. A notification is likely to be issued soon.
The top officials of the police, who are likely to be transferred, include the city police chief Ghulam Qadir Thebo – who is likely to be replaced by Additional IGP, Special Branch, Shahid Hayat – and police chiefs of all the three districts. Interestingly, Additional IG Traffic Police Zakir Hussain will take Hayat’s position as AIG Special Branch, while Thebo will be posted as Additional IG Traffic Police (in Hussain’s current position). Officials further revealed that massive reshuffling of SPs, DSPs and SHOs will follow as part of the second stage of reshuffling.
