An important meeting of the Provincial Threat Assessment Committee was held under the chairmanship of Sindh Minister for Home and Law Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar to review security arrangements for important personalities, political leaders and religious figures.
The meeting was attended by ACS Home Iqbal Memon, IGP Sindh Javed Alam Odho, representatives of law enforcement agencies and other relevant officials. Addressing the meeting, Sindh Home Minister Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar directed the authorities to conduct a fresh review of the security provided to all important personalities, political leaders and religious figures. He stressed that the Provincial Threat Assessment Committee’s report and recommendations, along with available information, must be given due importance in this regard.
He made it clear that decisions regarding the provision of security or any increase in security arrangements must be based on genuine threats and actual security requirements. Sindh Home Minister further directed that additional personnel deployed in the name of security be withdrawn immediately. He also called for effective measures to eliminate security arrangements provided without proper authorization.
He emphasized that unnecessary deployments must not be allowed and that available personnel should be utilized according to actual needs and priorities. Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar further stated that the process of providing security must be transparent, effective and subject to regular monitoring. He directed the relevant institutions to make security-related decisions on the basis of credible information, the nature of threats and the recommendations of the Threat Assessment Committee to ensure the appropriate use of resources.
Sindh Home Minister said that the protection of the lives and property of the public was the government’s foremost priority. However, he noted that the availability of security personnel and their effective deployment must also be ensured.
He stressed that, rather than allocating security resources for unnecessary purposes, priority should be given to protecting individuals and locations where the nature of the threat makes the deployment of personnel essential. Sindh Home Minister directed the relevant authorities to continuously review security arrangements and complete all necessary measures in a coordinated manner. He emphasized that this approach would help protect individuals facing genuine threats while ensuring the effective utilization of the human resources of law enforcement agencies.
