Additional Inspector General Sindh Police Ghulam Nabi Memon said that 60 percent of street crimes were committed by drug addicts and to address this issue police will establish 12 rehabilitation centres in the city. Speaking at a meeting of Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI), he said that to address this issue, crime police has decided to establish rehabilitation centres in the city. "First centre would be established in Malir with the collaboration of CPLC and 12 more centres will be established soon in Karachi."

AIG told that Model Police Station would be established in Karachi. He said that he is focusing on to make police response more steady and instantaneous. He said Police department had contacted telecoms to provide complainant's location to 15 Force to make response 10-15 minutes faster. He told that a seven-member board had been formed, including six DIGS and himself, to appoint station house officers (SHOs). Now this would be done through a system not by any individual authority.

He said that 8000 in police and 2000 in traffic police will be inducted in next month. President KATI Danish Khan said that infrastructure of Karachi had been collapsed and is the basic cause of disturbance in traffic flow. He said that merger of police station is a point of concern , people have already been facing hurdles in launching complains.

Nadeem Khan said that SSP Korangi Ali Raza and his team is doing great job and had launched a crackdown against criminal elements and their efforts are recommendable. Senator Abdul Hasseb Khan said that without a central plan of the city nobody can enforce law properly in this city, it is time to bring a master plan of city.
