Karachi’s Additional IG Javed Alam Odho has appealed to senior police officers to help the flood victims.
Chairing a meeting on relief and rehabilitation activities at the Karachi Police Office on Wednesday, he said police officers should participate in relief activities with the help of their friends and philanthropists and arrange camps, dry food and medicines for the affected people.
Collect relief materials at the district level and distribute them to the victims in collaboration with the range DIGs and SSUs headquarters, the city police chief said, adding that concrete measures were needed to ensure safe delivery of relief goods.
According to officials, Odho said a large number of flood victims were coming to Karachi, and the administration needed to be supported for solving the problems faced by them. All range DIGs, DIG Crime Investigation Agency, all district SSPs and SP investigations attended the meeting.
Meanwhile, Malir SSP Irfan Ali Bahadur and the deputy commissioner distributed one month’s ration to 1,000 flood-affected families in Kund Jhand and Moidan areas.
