A police station has been established inside the Federal Urdu University’s Science Campus in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, after the relocation of the Aziz Bhatti Police Station from its previous site.
According to official and local sources, the transfer process is currently underway, with several departments already shifting operations to the new location within the university premises.
Reports indicate that parts of the investigation wing have already been moved, while arrangements are in progress for the Station House Officer (SHO) office and other administrative units. Some police offices have reportedly started functioning from the new campus-based setup.
The relocation marks a significant administrative change aimed at improving operational space and efficiency for law enforcement activities in the area. Authorities have not yet issued detailed public statements regarding the long-term planning behind shifting the station inside the educational institution.
The presence of a police station within a university campus is expected to enhance security arrangements in and around the academic environment. Gulshan-e-Iqbal is a densely populated area of Karachi where law enforcement visibility is considered important due to both residential and institutional activity.
Officials are expected to ensure that police operations do not interfere with academic activities while maintaining law and order in the surrounding locality. Such arrangements are sometimes implemented in urban centers where space constraints and security requirements overlap.
The development has drawn attention from students and residents, with discussions emerging about accessibility, campus security, and the practical implications of housing a police station within an educational institution.
Security analysts note that embedding police presence within key public institutions can improve response times and strengthen coordination in emergencies, although it also requires careful management to maintain a balance between institutional privacy and public policing duties.
Further updates are expected as the relocation process completes and the station becomes fully operational at its new site.
