Police ranges are very important for maintaining peace and order in Sindh, one of Pakistan’s four provinces, which has a well-functioning legal system. Each of the several ranges that make up the Sindh Police is in charge of one specific area.
This post will go over the composition of the Sindh Police Ranges, their roles, and a thorough analysis of the list, which includes the well-known Karachi Range.
Sindh Police Ranges
A key component of the power structure that controls Sindh Police’s operations is the police range. In short, a police range is a division of the province that includes multiple districts. A Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police leads each range, controlling administrative functions, crime prevention, and law enforcement within their respective jurisdictions.
Sindh currently has five police ranges, giving complete protection all over the province. These ranges are arranged properly to meet the various demands of both urban and rural locations, allowing the force to successfully handle both regional and common issues.
Range of Sindh Police: Key Divisions
Let’s take a closer look at the major Sindh Police Ranges and their roles:
1. Karachi Range
Since the Karachi Range is in the position of maintaining peace and order in the provincial capital, it is likely the most important range in Sindh. One of Pakistan’s biggest and most populated cities, Karachi, has particular problems with organized crime, terrorism, and street crime. The Karachi Range is further subdivided into several districts, such as East, West, South, Central, Malir, and Korangi, to effectively administer its large authority.
2. Hyderabad Range
One of the most important regions of Sindh is operated by the Hyderabad Range, which is in charge of law enforcement. It includes districts such as Tando Allahyar, Matiari, Hyderabad, and Jamshoro. Because it covers both urban and country areas, its range is essential for meeting both urban and rural enforcement needs.
3. Sukkur Range
The Sukkur Range, which covers districts like Sukkur, Ghotki, Khairpur, and Shikarpur, is located in northern Sindh. Due to the presence of many important industrial and agricultural regions, this range plays a role in resolving disputes between tribes and ensuring the security of trade routes.
4. Larkana Range
The Larkana Range is responsible for law enforcement in districts like Larkana, Qambar-Shahdadkot, Jacobabad, and Kashmore. This range, which has historical relevance, tackles issues related to rural police, such as loyalty and conflict among tribes.
5. Mirpurkhas Range
Districts like Mirpurkhas, Tharparkar, and Umerkot are all part of the Mirpurkhas Range. This category usually concentrates on solving issues like land disputes and cross-border smuggling, specific to Sindh’s desert regions.
