Sindh Govt Pushes for Enhanced College Security
Amid rising safety concerns, the Sindh government has directed government colleges in Karachi to install CCTV cameras. The Directorate of College Education Karachi Region issued a circular on Thursday, urging principals to implement security measures to protect students, staff, and government assets.
CCTV Installation for Comprehensive Surveillance
The directive mandates the installation of cameras to monitor both the interiors and exteriors of college boundaries. These surveillance systems aim to curb incidents of theft and other criminal activities, providing an added layer of protection for educational institutions.
Statement from Officials
The circular emphasized, “In light of prevailing security concerns in Karachi, it is necessary to adopt proactive measures for the safety of our institutions and those within them.” Authorities believe these efforts will help create a safer environment for learning.
CCTV Footage as a Critical Tool for Law Enforcement
The installed CCTV systems will play a pivotal role in assisting law enforcement agencies. Footage from these cameras will provide crucial evidence for investigations and serve as a deterrent to potential offenders.
Karachi Police Blacklist Criminal Domestic Helpers
In a related move, Karachi police recently blacklisted 110 domestic helpers with criminal records. The issued list includes photos, contact details, and addresses of these individuals. Most of these workers were hired without undergoing mandatory police verification, highlighting the urgent need for stricter hiring protocols.
By integrating advanced surveillance systems in colleges and tightening security measures citywide, authorities aim to foster a safer environment for Karachi’s residents and students alike.
