The Sindh government has approved the recruitment of 2,000 Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASIs) in the police investigation wing in a move aimed at strengthening law enforcement and improving the justice system.
The decision was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by Sindh Chief Secretary Asif Hyder Shah, attended by IG Sindh, the Additional Chief Secretary for Home, the Secretary Services, and other senior officials.
Chief Secretary Shah emphasized that boosting the police’s investigative capacity would build public trust and ensure more effective law enforcement. “This is a key step toward improving the investigative capabilities of the police force,” he said, adding that a strong investigation system is crucial for swift justice and crime reduction.
The chief secretary also directed officials to remove any obstacles in the recruitment process to ensure timely induction.
Speaking at the meeting, IG Sindh welcomed the decision, noting that the addition of ASIs would enhance the quality of investigations, enabling timely justice and stronger action against criminal elements.
The move comes as Sindh Police’s Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) recently issued a new edition of its “Grey Book,” featuring profiles of 81 highly wanted suspects involved in cases of murder, attempted murder, kidnapping for ransom, police encounters, and armed robberies. The updated Grey Book is set to be distributed across law enforcement agencies to assist in identifying and apprehending dangerous criminals in the province.
