He said the draft with regard to proposals in reforms in police rules will be sent to home department which will be later sent to the cabinet for discussion.

To a question about street crime, Memon said it is a big problem in urban areas of Sindh, including Karachi, and police always try hard to eliminate street crime but there is still space for improvement. He said street crime incidents have fallen as compared to 2013 and the recent year since January. He said it is very painful if someone gets killed or injured in the street crime incident and such incidents could only be reduced if the accused are identified, arrested and then punished.
