In a recent announcement, the law enforcement agencies mentioned that candidates possessing a Karachi domicile only will be inducted into the force.
Around 2,838 constables, in BPS-5, would be recruited for controlling traffic across the city. However, there is no plan to recruit any of the constables for administrative duties as all of them would be seen on roads controlling traffic after their training.
Recruitment policy for this category, the candidates with minimum matriculation qualification are eligible to apply for traffic constable post.
The age limit is 18 to 28 years and the applicants who met the eligibility criteria will go through a test for physical requirements, the official added.
The fresh announcement comes while an induction exercise in the Sindh police of hiring more than 10,000 men and women is already underway with a major chunk of recruitments from Karachi youth having city domicile.

The police have notified 10,490 vacancies with 6,655 alone for Karachi range.
The fresh batch of induction for Karachi traffic police will help meet the emerging “human resource crisis” being faced in the key unit of the law enforcement agency.
