People who withdraw more than half-million police will provide security

The police have planned to provide protection for civilians who withdraw half a million or more cash from banks near the SITE Industrial Area in Karachi.

In view of the increasing incidence of cash-snatching throughout the metropolis, the decision has been taken to provide protection.

SITE police have asked traders and other people to contact them if they withdraw Rs500,000 or more cash from banks in the region for security provision.
Despite the police claiming to have ramped up efforts to rein in muggers, the incidence of people being robbed after withdrawing cash from banks in the port city is rising.
