The Sindh government has allowed the police to induct 25,000 more men into the force in the next financial year, said IG Sindh Ghulam Hyder Jamali at a meeting on Friday. This induction, he added, will be completed in two different phases.
The meeting which was held at the Central Police Office was attended by Additional IG Karachi Ghulam Qadir Thebo, Headquarters DIG Abdul Aleem Jafri, Special Branch DIG Naeem Akram Bharoka and other senior police officials.
According to the IG, the government intends to increase total strength at police station for more effective policing and this is why they had agreed to the induction of more men in the force. He said that reforms were being introduced in the rules and a draft was being worked on.
Jamali reviewed the progress of high-profile cases and directed police officers to update the way they investigate cases. He also directed DIG Traffic Karachi to increase work on the anti-encroachment drive in consultation with the zonal, district police and civic departments.
