PESCO has directed all operational units to promote this reconnection plan widely, especially at the sub-divisional office level, to ensure maximum outreach and compliance. This is a great opportunity for industries across KP and Peshawar to reconnect and resume operations without paying their full dues upfront.

This force, comprising 1828 constables, has been established specifically for the protection of worship places of religious minorities across Sindh. This decision directly aligns with the Supreme Court of Pakistan’s order dated 19th June 2014 (PLD 2014 SC 699), which emphasized the need for increased security and proactive measures for minority communities. The force was created during the fiscal year 2022-23, and its implementation reflects a significant step towards inclusive and equal protection under the law. The Sindh Police has now directed all relevant ranges—including Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, SBA, Mirpurkhas, and Larkana—to submit a by-name list of deployed SPF constables and their respective postings by May 21, 2025. Please find notification: No.4102-09/ESTT/T&R/G.R-I/2025GOVERNMENT OF SINDHPOLICE DEPARTMENTKarachi dated: 15-05-2025 To The Additional Inspector General of Police,Karachi Range.

Sindh’s SPF Deployment a Bold Step Toward Minority Protection & Religious Harmony: The deployment of 1828 Special Police Force constables by the Sindh Government marks a meaningful effort toward strengthening the security of religious minorities in Pakistan. With places of worship such as temples, churches, and gurdwaras often under threat, this dedicated unit ensures that minority communities feel safe while practicing their faith. This action complies with the Supreme Court’s historic judgment emphasizing minority rights, and sets a strong precedent for other provinces. The Sindh Police’s directive to submit complete deployment lists also indicates transparency and accountability in execution.
