High level transfers and postings made in police department
Shares
On Tuesday, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) granted approval for a significant restructuring within the Sindh police department, following a request made by the provincial caretaker government. The official notification outlined several key appointments aimed at enhancing the law enforcement landscape in Karachi and surrounding regions.
Among these changes, Grade-21 officer Khadim Hussain Rind was appointed as the new Chief of Police for Karachi, while Syed Asad Raza took up the role of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) in South Zone Karachi. This reshuffle extended further, appointing Asim Khan as DIG West Zone, Ghulam Asghar as DIG East Zone, Tariq Razzaque as DIG Hyderabad Range, and Tanveer Alam Odho as DIG Mirpurkhas Range.
This development occurred swiftly following the Sindh Services, General Administration & Coordination Department's response to the Election Commission of Pakistan's communication regarding officer transfers and postings.
The department not only replied to the ECP's letter but also submitted a list of names for approval in the context of postings. The move reflects a proactive effort by the provincial authorities to optimize the leadership and management of the Sindh police, underscoring the importance of effective law enforcement and public safety in the region. It remains to be seen how these appointments will impact the security and policing dynamics in Sindh, particularly in Karachi, the province's largest and most populous city.
The ECP's endorsement of these appointments signifies a cooperative approach between the electoral oversight body and the provincial government to ensure that key law enforcement positions are occupied by capable and qualified individuals. These changes aim to streamline the police department's operations and enhance its ability to address the evolving security challenges faced by Sindh. As the new appointees assume their roles, the public will be closely watching to assess the impact of these changes on crime prevention, public safety, and overall governance in the region.
