While reviewing Karachi's law and order on Monday, Ziaul Hasan Lanjar addressed the media, assuring the public that authorities are taking steps to tackle the recent surge in street crime.

Sindh Home Minister said that police and Rangers are actively patrolling Karachi's streets to apprehend criminals and maintain public order.

He also mentioned progress in various investigations, noting suspects identified in multiple cases, with details to be shared after Eid-ul-Fitr.
