Shah was also informed about the latest criminal activity of Kharadar killings of two traders and shooting the guard of a marble trader on refusing to pay extortion money. The chief minister said that he had convened a meeting of all the law-enforcement agencies and has given strict orders to control crimes and if in any area killings take place, the station house officer (SHO), deputy superintendent of police (DSP) and superintendent of police (SP) of the jurisdiction would be held responsible. The chief minster said that the government has taken measures to provide security and improve law and order situation, according to the statement.
