According to Karachi Police Chief Javed Alam Odho’s Friday statement, the number of street crimes has decreased by 50% in the first quarter of 2024. Street crimes have claimed 100 lives in the city thus far.
Odho, who became the city’s new head officer in July of this year, stated, “The police have a special focus on eliminating street crimes.”
In an effort to reduce crime in the city, the police chief issued orders last week for combing operations, more patrols, and other operational measures.
In an interview with Geo News’ “Geo Pakistan,” the head of police stated that the city needs a cutting-edge command and control facility in order to combat crime.
“25 percent of the cameras will be installed in the first phase of the Safe City project,” he revealed.
