Sir: The Sindh police deserve respect and praise for their prompt and professional response to the massacre at Safoora Goth. Riding on its recent success, the Sindh police could easily launch another operation that will eliminate the single largest source of insecurity amongst the citizens of Karachi: being regularly mugged on traffic intersections, in full public view.The basic concept of the ‘get the mugger’ operation is absolutely simple and has been successfully implemented in many countries around the world. Begin by identifying 20 to 30 most mugged intersections. Install cameras to cover these intersections. Place two policemen, with stun guns at each of these intersections in a manner that they have a full view of the location. The surveillance cameras at each intersection are closely monitored from a central control room. As soon as a mugging is observed, the control room informs the police on duty that then use stun guns to disable and arrest the culprits. The nearby police mobiles are simultaneously informed to reach the scene of mugging. If the mugging is first observed by the police on duty it can directly take the same actions. The camera evidence should be enough to prosecute the culprit, who should be brought to justice in a matter of days and not years.The cameras could be discreetly and randomly relocated on other potential mugging sites so that the muggers are never sure of what location is being actively monitored. Taken seriously, this operation could rid the city of a cancer. NAEEM SADIQKarachi
