TANGWANI (Big Digit) New SSP Dr Samiullah Soomro Assumes Charge in Kashmore; Major Police Station Reshuffle, Zero-Tolerance Policy Against Corruption Announced
TANGWANI (Big Digit): Newly appointed Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kashmore at Kandhkot, Dr Samiullah Soomro, has formally assumed charge of his office. A ceremony was held at the SSP Office in Kandhkot, where a smartly turned-out police contingent presented him with a guard of honour.
Following the ceremony, SSP Dr Samiullah Soomro chaired an introductory meeting with all SDPOs, SHOs and office staff to review the overall law and order situation, police performance and public grievances across the district.
During the meeting, he announced a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, bribery and misuse of authority, directing officers to ensure strict departmental action against personnel found involved in such practices. He also instructed police officials to resolve public complaints on a priority basis, uphold merit and the rule of law, and treat citizens with courtesy and respect.
Soon after assuming charge, the new SSP ordered major administrative changes at police stations to improve policing and strengthen law and order. Under the notification, Ghulam Qadir Jatoi has been appointed SHO of A-Section Police Station, Kandhkot, while Shahid Hussain Khushk has been posted as SHO of Tangwani Police Station. Sub-Inspectors have also been appointed as SHOs in place of constables reportedly performing these responsibilities.
According to sources, during the tenure of former SSP Muhammad Murad Ghanghro, constables had reportedly been assigned responsibilities under the designation of SHOs at certain police stations, a practice that drew criticism over the deteriorating law and order situation. Dr Samiullah Soomro was subsequently appointed as the new SSP.
His appointment has been welcomed by local residents, who recalled his previous tenure in the district and expressed hope that he would once again play an effective role in restoring peace, controlling crime and ensuring the protection of citizens’ lives and property.
