Law enforcement agencies have been put on high alert in view of the protest outside the US consulate, while Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hasan Lanjar issued a stern warning this morning that no one will be allowed to take the law into their own hands.
In response to the demonstration, Mr. Lanjar has sought immediate details about the situation from the Additional Inspector General of Karachi.
The provincial home minister stressed that the security of sensitive installations should be made more effective and confirmed that government agencies are closely monitoring the developments.
Instructions have also been issued to the authorities to designate alternative routes to ensure the continuous flow of traffic and to reduce public inconvenience during the protest.
The minister assured that strict action would be taken in accordance with the law against elements disturbing public order.
