Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that habitual criminals, involved in repeated crime, should be e-tagged and monitored.
He made this suggestion in a meeting at the CM House. The meeting was attended by Advisor Law Murtaza Wahab, Chief Secretary Mumtaz Shah, Advocate General Salman Talibuddin, IG Police Mushtaq Maher, Home Secretary Saeed Mangnijo, PSCM Fayaz Jatoi, Adl IG Karachi Ghulam Nabi Memon, Adl IG Special Branch Javed Odho, Deputy DG Rangers Brigadier Rauf Shahzad, Secretary Law Ali Ahmed Baloch, DIGs and provincial heads of intelligence agencies

“I want electronic tagging of such [habitual] criminals so that an eagle eye could be put on them,” the CM said.
Electronic tagging is a system in which a criminal or suspected criminal has an electronic device attached to them which enables the police to know if they leave a particular area.
The chief minister said that during the last one and half months a new surge of street crime has created a wave of fear and insecurity in the city.
“I usually visit the city secretly and hardly see the police and Rangers on the roads or on patrolling in the respective area,” he said, adding this was unacceptable at all.
Murad Ali Shah said that some serious incidents have taken place in which citizens have lost their lives against street criminals. “Where are your SHOs, what are they doing and what is their performance,” he asked the police.
