Lanjar for consultation among all stakeholders for finalising Ramazan security plan

Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hasan Lanjar on Wednesday directed that a security plan for Ramazan should be finalised and the plan should prioritise coordination and consultation with the Rangers and other stakeholders.

After chairing a security meeting, he told the police to review lists of mosques, Imambargahs, madrasas, and other open venues, categorized by police range, district, and zones, finalize the security plan and send it for review at the earliest.

Lanjar said the plan should be developed based on crime analysis in the respective police station areas, considering the three categories: highly sensitive, sensitive, and normal. This plan should cover all mosques, Imambargahs, madrasas, and other open prayer venues during Taraweeh, ensuring extraordinary security measures, especially during the three Ashrahs, including the day of martyrdom of Hazrat Ali.

He added that additional police deployments beyond regular police personnel should be made during all three Ashrahs, with special assignments given to police commandos in potentially sensitive areas. Under the Ramazan security plan, the security of central mosques, Imambargahs, madrasas, other open prayer venues, and locations for three-day, five-day, and fifteen-day Taraweeh prayers should be coordinated and effectively monitored under the supervision of relevant SSPs and SDPOs.
