KARACHI: Sindh police chief Mushtaq Ahmed Mahar on Wednesday issued revised instructions for his subordinates. The letter states that the competent authority is concerned that while extending help to the most vulnerable segments of society in view of the preventive lockdown against COVID-19, people gather in large numbers and different political parties display their flags and relevant pictures at or near the designated distribution centres.

This can lead to serious law and order situations if left unchecked, so the following measures should be ensured under the close supervision of DSPs, SSPs and SPs, reads the letter. All commanders have been told to ensure that no flag is displayed at or in the immediate surroundings of any distribution centre of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) or the Ehsaas Emergency Cash programme.

Officials said that a letter to this effect was moved from the office of the inspector general of police (IGP) to all the deputy inspectors general (DIGs), senior superintendents of police (SSPs) and superintendents of police (SPs) of the province.

The DSPs have told to be present at the BISP and Ehsaas programme centres on a daily basis during the distribution timings. The SSPs and SPs have been told to visit the centres twice a day.

Implementation on the order of observing social distancing should be followed strictly in accordance with the instructions issued by government from time to time, concludes the IGP’s letter.
