Sindh Rangers have increased security at mosques and imambargahs in Karachi as a result of a suicide bombing that left at least 32 people dead in a mosque in Peshawar, according to ARY News on Monday.
In order to maintain law and order, the Sindh Rangers reportedly tightened security at mosques and imambargahs and began conducting snap checks throughout the city.
During snap checking, the Rangers used cutting-edge technology to look up citizens’ “criminal records.”
The development happened after a suicide attack left at least 32 people dead and more than 150 injured in Peshawar’s Police Lines mosque.
Videos and pictures shared by social media users show horrific scenes as the injured drenched in blood were shifted to local medical centres for first aid after the Peshawar mosque blast.
A part of the mosque has collapsed. The nature of the blast is unknown as per initial reports. An eye witness while talking to ARY News said, he was going to the mosque when the blast occurred and panic prevailed.
Earlier in the day, the Islamabad police also put the security of the federal capital on high alert. The Islamabad Capital Territory police tightened security at the entry and exit points of the federal capital.
The police officials instructed the citizens of Islamabad to keep important documents with them including computerized national identity cards (CNICs) besides appealing to the residents to corporate with the on-duty cops during the checking process.
Security is also been monitored through safe city cameras in the federal capital.
