KARACHI – The Chief Coordinator of the Pakistan Hindu Council, Kirshan Sagar, along with several notables from various cities in Sindh, in a meeting with the IG of Sindh Police, has discussed the recent incidents of kidnapping and abduction in Gouspur and Kohistan.
Stressing the need for immediate action, Mr. Sagar also raised concerns about the security of temples and broader law issues affecting minorities. On the occasion, IG Sindh assured that measures and directives would soon be issued across all districts of Sindh to protect minority rights. Kirshan Sagar and IG Sindh Police also reviewed current security situation.
The DIGs and SSPs committed to these directives, promising to work closely with district and divisional coordinators on minority issues.

This engagement aims to enhance security and legal support for minorities in Sindh.
The Sindh Police is one of the largest organizations of Sindh Government with manpower of more than one hundred thousand. Under the Sindh Police Repeal Act the highest rank of police officer is Inspector General of Police (IGP), who heads the police department in the province, with Additional Inspectors General, Deputy Inspectors General, Senior Superintendents and Assistant/Deputy Superintendents serving directly under him.
Expressing his views, IG Sindh Police emphasized that: “Crimes targeting women, children and minorities should be timely registered, pursued by swift and effective police response. This will promote a sense of security and trust on police among such vulnerable groups.”
I will not tolerate black sheep who bring disrepute to police through their actions, neither shall I tolerate incompetence, slackness, unwillingness or lack of empathy. Only officers with good reputation and capacity will be given important/ command assignments in the future. My criteria is “Hard work with good intention”. the IGP expressed.
