Sukkur (Bureau Report)<\/strong> \u2014 The city of Sukkur is currently facing a critical law and order crisis, with a worrying escalation in street crimes that has plunged local residents into a state of anxiety and fear. Incidents of mobile phone snatching, motorcycle theft, armed robberies, and burglaries are being reported daily across the city. What\u2019s particularly alarming is that many of these crimes are taking place in broad daylight and in densely populated urban areas, highlighting the boldness of criminal elements and the vulnerabilities in the security apparatus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criminals Operate Fearlessly While Citizens Remain Unprotected<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to local sources and civil society members, the most affected areas include Nawan Goth, Gulistan Colony, New Pind, Bandar Road, Race Course, and the surrounding areas of Rohri. In these neighborhoods, armed criminals are reportedly operating openly and without fear of consequences, carrying out robberies and snatchings at gunpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents claim that despite reporting several incidents, police have often failed to respond promptly or take effective action. This has led to growing public frustration and skepticism regarding the capability and responsiveness of Sukkur\u2019s law enforcement agencies. Many citizens are now questioning whether the police are capable of protecting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIG Sukkur Faisal Abdullah Chachar Takes Strict Notice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In response to the growing unrest and deteriorating law and order situation, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Sukkur Range Faisal Abdullah Chachar<\/strong> has taken serious notice of the matter. He has issued strict and urgent instructions<\/strong> to all district police officials, directing them to adopt effective and result-oriented strategies<\/strong> to control the surge in street crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a strongly worded directive to Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs), Sub-Divisional Police Officers (SDPOs), and Station House Officers (SHOs), the DIG emphasized that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cProtecting the public is the foremost responsibility of the police force. Any negligence, inefficiency, or lack of commitment in fulfilling this duty will not be tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

DIG Chachar further stated that immediate and concrete action must be taken to restore law and order, and all available resources must be utilized to tackle the growing threat posed by criminal elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ongoing Police Measures and Surveillance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In line with the DIG\u2019s directives, the Sukkur police have intensified snap-checking operations<\/strong>, increased night patrolling<\/strong>, and stepped up surveillance of suspicious individuals and vehicles<\/strong> in crime-prone areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional checkpoints have been established in sensitive localities, and special police teams have been deployed during nighttime hours to prevent robberies and other street crimes. Surveillance through CCTV cameras<\/strong> has also been expanded, particularly in markets, intersections, and entry\/exit points of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police sources, a special targeted operation<\/strong> is being planned to apprehend known criminals, recover illegal weapons, and dismantle organized criminal gangs. This operation is expected to begin within the next few days and will include intelligence-based raids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Frustration and Growing Demands for Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite these efforts, the residents of Sukkur remain deeply concerned about their safety. Public confidence in law enforcement has been severely shaken due to recent incidents and perceived delays in police response. Several citizens and community leaders have demanded a more visible and robust police presence<\/strong>, especially in areas that have witnessed repeated criminal activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have also stressed the urgent need to revive and activate the Rapid Response Units (RRUs)<\/strong>, so that police can respond to incidents within minutes rather than hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A local resident shared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe have seen multiple robberies on the same road in the last week alone. The criminals are not afraid of being caught, and that tells you everything about how bad the situation is.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hope for a Return to Peace with Strong Implementation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While many have welcomed the DIG’s direct intervention and the renewed commitment to law enforcement, residents are also clear that implementation is key<\/strong>. They have seen multiple similar crackdowns in the past that yielded no long-term results due to lack of follow-through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, citizens are calling for transparency<\/strong>, accountability<\/strong>, and regular progress updates<\/strong> from the police. Some have even proposed the establishment of a citizen-police liaison committee<\/strong> to monitor implementation and provide feedback on ground realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Civil society groups and local NGOs have also offered to assist in awareness campaigns and community policing initiatives to help restore peace in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: A City on Edge, Awaiting Action<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sukkur, once considered one of Sindh\u2019s relatively peaceful urban centers, is now battling a surge in crime that threatens the daily lives of its residents. The boldness of street criminals and the delayed police response have created a vacuum of fear and helplessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with top-level attention now focused on the issue and a renewed sense of urgency within the police ranks, there remains hope that effective, coordinated, and sustained action can turn the tide. Sukkur\u2019s residents are watching closely\u2014and demanding results, not just promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
