Kacha gangs, arms trafficking, Sindh police chief discusses law and order
Police chief outlines multiple security threats facing Sindh region
Urges business owners to install CCTV systems
Police tackling 'Kacha' gang kidnappings
Warns of synthetic drugs and arms trafficking surge
In an interview with Nukta, Sindh Police Inspector General Ghulam Nabi Memon spoke about the force's ongoing efforts to address critical internal security challenges, particularly the surge in street crime in Karachi and kidnappings perpetrated by 'Kacha' gangs.
Operating in the riverine areas of upper Sindh, known locally as 'Kacha,' these heavily armed criminal groups exploit the region's dense forest cover and complex network of river islands to conduct kidnappings for ransom.
The gangs have gained notoriety for their sophisticated operations and ability to evade law enforcement by using the challenging terrain to their advantage.
Memon also highlighted broader security concerns, particularly the proliferation of synthetic drugs and illegal arms trafficking. He stressed the need for comprehensive national policies to effectively regulate weapons and combat narcotics trade.
Although he claimed the Sindh police have achieved notable success in reducing street crime, Memon emphasized the importance of continued public vigilance.
He urged business owners to implement preventive security measures, including the installation of CCTV systems.
The police chief highlighted significant challenges in combating organized crime, particularly how criminal gangs exploit kidnappings and orchestrate protests to drive wedges between local communities and law enforcement agencies.
Memon's observations illuminate the multifaceted challenges of law enforcement in Sindh.
