The offici­als said the strate­gy will soon be propos­ed to the Sindh govern­mentKARACHI: Persistent lockdown violations across Karachi have compelled the city’s police to devise an effective course of action to reduce the breaking of the law. As a result, the law enforcers are now pondering imposing fines on those stepping out unnecessarily. Police officials, on condition of anonymity, have revealed to The Express Tribune that the imposition of a heavy penalty on those not abiding by lockdown orders is under consideration. The officials said that the Sindh government will also be asked to authorise traffic police personnel deployed at pickets to impose fines on violators. Following the enforcement of a province-wide lockdown, the Sindh government has stepped up measures multiple times to ensure that citizens abide by the orders.
