Sea View to remain open for public on the New Year night

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has directed divisional administration and the police to keep the sea view area accessible for the public on the New Year night so that the visitors could enjoy with any hassle, ordering the authorities to take strict action against those carrying weapons or using narcotics and harassing the visitors.

He issued these directives while presiding over a meeting to review security arrangements made for New Year night here in Karachi at the Chief Minister House on Sunday evening.

Home Secretary Kazi Kabir, principal secretary to the CM Sajid Jamal Abro, Commissioner Karachi Iftikhar Shahalwani, Additional IG Special Branch and Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Dr Waliullah Dal, DIGs of districts South, East and West and the SSP South.

The officials informed the chief minister that roads leading to Sea View were being closed by placing containers and that strict checking would be carried on streets throughout the city.

The chief minister, displeased with the steps, said that the people of the city had every right to enjoy the New Year night but in a decent and cultured way.

He directed the commissioner Karachi and DIG South to not close roads, and the let the people go wherever they wanted to. “But I would suggest you make strict security arrangements so that nobody could create problems for other visitors, carry weapons, use narcotics, resort to one wheeling or ride motorcycles without a silencer,” he said.

He directed the authorities to arrest any person found involved in the activities mentioned above. “This is our city, and we all have a responsibility to make it peaceful. We have to demonstrate with our actions that we are educated, cultured and caring people,” he said.

Mr Shah also directed the administration to designate alternate routes towards the Sea View to prevent traffic bottlenecks at Do-Talwar and Teen-Talwar areas but added that this wasn’t meant to create uneasiness for the public.

He also ordered the commissioner and the police that alternate routes towards Sea View be designated in a way that the people living in Clifton and Sea View areas may not face inconvenience.

It was pointed out in the meeting that some street lights in Defense Housing Authority (DHA) and Clifton areas were out of order. On this, the chief minister directed the commissioner to talk to the DHA officials to fix the out of order lights located in their areas, issuing similar instructions to the Karachi Municipal Corporation (KMC) and other concerned authorities for areas under their jurisdiction.

He also directed the commissioner to conduct an inspection of CCTV cameras in DHA and Clifton area and get out of order ones repaired.

The Traffic police were also directed to envisage an efficient traffic management plan to prevent the clogging of major arteries and streets of the city.

The chief minister said that he would be reviewing overall law and order in the city every Monday so that the city’s peace could be maintained.

Separately, a notification issued by the Sindh Government notified that pillion riding in Karachi has been banned for two days under the section-144 to ensure the law and order. It was also notified that aerial firing, firecrackers, and exhibiting the weapons will be banned to prevent any untoward situation.

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital. Her entire immediate family was wiped out in an air strike by a Saudi-led coalition that backs Yemen’s government, using an explosive device Amnesty International says was made in the US. Images of Buthaina’s rescue and a picture of her swollen and bruised at a hospital trying to force open one of her eyes with her fingers were beamed worldwide. That international fame saw her become something of a propaganda pawn in the war between Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels and Saudi media. “I was in my mother’s room with my father, sisters, brother and uncle, the first missile hit, and my father went to get us sugar to get over the shock, but then the second missile hit, and then the third,” she says. “And then the house fell,” adds the little girl, who says she is eight.
