KARACHI: Caretaker Home Minister retired Brigadier Haris Nawaz has directed law enforcement agencies to speed up intelligence-based operations against street criminals, drug dealers, land grabbers and comb out illegal immigrants from the city.

He said this while presiding over a high-level meeting on law and order.

The meeting was attended by Home Secretary Muhmmad Iqbal Memon, Sindh police chief Riffat Mukhtar and senior officers of other law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

The home minister asked the authorities to evolve a joint strategy for launching a grand operation against riverine area gangs and their facilitators.

He vowed to take the operation against the lawbreakers to its logical conclusion.
