5,700 cops to monitor Muharram processions in Karachi | To avoid any untoward incident of terrorism or crime during Muharram, which falls on Friday, the Karachi Capital City Police will deploy 5, 700 of its personel to monitor the mourning processions. Disclosing this, senior police officer
Fayyaz Laghari told the Daily Times that 1,000 commandos of the Special Protection
Group (SPG); personnel of the Special Branch, Crime Investigation Department (CID),
Special Investigation Unit (SIU) and traffic police and others would also be deployed.
According to a new security plan, the police have chalked out separate routes
for fire brigade tenders and ambulances since there is a possibility that terrorists
could use these vehicles for their nefarious purposes. Talking about monitoring
the routes of the main processions, the city police chief said the Bomb Disposal
Squad would check all the routes before the arrival of the processions. Police
have also changed the security plan for hospitals and closed-circuit television
cameras have also been installed along the routes of the main processions. Aerial
surveillance would also be carried out with the help of helicopters. |
