In response to the surge in robbery incidents across the city, plainclothes police officers have been stationed outside all banks in the Korangi district of Karachi. This proactive measure aims to enhance security and deter potential criminal activities targeting financial institutions.
Under the directive, police personnel in plain clothes have been deployed to monitor and safeguard all banks in the Korangi district. Additionally, Bawardi police officers will conduct regular patrols in key areas and thoroughfares to ensure heightened vigilance and prompt response to any security threats.
SSP Korangi, Toheedur Rahman, convened a meeting with bank staff to underscore the importance of implementing robust security measures. During the meeting, important instructions were issued to enhance the security posture of banks and minimize the risk of robberies.
One of the key directives emphasized the installation of barriers in the cash counter and waiting area of banks to maintain a safe distance between cash transactions and customers. This measure is aimed at reducing the vulnerability of bank staff and customers to potential robbery attempts.
Furthermore, SSP Toheedur Rahman highlighted the activation of the Shaheen Force, a specialized law enforcement unit, to patrol the roads and highways of Korangi. This strategic deployment will bolster overall security measures and ensure a swift response to any suspicious activities or security breaches.
The initiative reflects the commitment of law enforcement authorities to safeguarding public safety and maintaining law and order in the face of evolving security challenges. By proactively enhancing security measures and leveraging specialized units, authorities aim to create a secure environment conducive to economic activities and public confidence.
