Karachi has been regarded as the world’s most dangerous city located in Pakistan. The regular gang violence and the lack of security have affected innocent citizens for so long. The increased presence of police has changed the environment a lot. But Karachi still needs more help to be fully free from the ruthless environment. The carjacking and other violent crimes are still high for Karachi to be considered safe.
That is why the Sindh government has been working day and night to introduce new ways to protect its people. That is how the Rescue 1122 Service was launched in Karachi by the Sindh Government.
Street Crimes in Karachi
Although the crime rates have fallen due to high security, street crimes are far from being over. One of the most common street crimes includes mobile phones, motorcycles, and car snatching. A lot of these crimes have happened in 2022 alone. Many people suffer minor to major injuries and some even die due to these unfortunate events. At this point, Karachi is slowly going to reclaim its position as the world’s most dangerous city.
Rescue 1122 Services in Karachi
The Sindh Government has been keeping a keen eye on all of these situations. But now they have taken a great step toward this problem. In Karachi, the Sindh government has initiated the Rescue 1122 Services.
Syed Murad Ali Shah, the Chief Minister of Sindh, launched the Rescue 1122 service. The launch took place at the sports complex of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC). By integrating it with fire brigade services and trauma centers around the province, Chief Minister Shah claimed that it would become “a full package of rescue, relief, and rehabilitation.” He also showed his gratitude to Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif for his cooperation in this project. It is said that this project was made possible by the practical assistance of the Punjab Rescue Service.
In the first phase of a complete rescue service under the Rescue 1122 project, 50 ambulances have been launched in Karachi. That number will be increased to 230 across the province. In the second phase, the service will be expanded to other divisions and districts. It is said that the next step in the project is to set up a Central Command and Control Center to strategize and oversee that the Rescue 1122 services were used productively. He also disclosed that a proposal has been sent to the World Bank to expand this project to the other districts and divisions.
All in all, this project is a huge step towards the betterment of Karachi and other divisions and districts as well. They have been trained to respond as quickly as possible in the event of a crisis. It will be of great assistance to the people of Sindh, who live in fear and anxiety as a result of the daily crimes that occur there. It is hoped that this will lead to a breakthrough for the people who have been victimized by all of the crimes that have occurred there.
