In Karachi, the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Traffic, Mazhar Nawaz Sheikh, has implemented a significant policy change by cancelling all police leaves ahead of Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr to ensure smooth traffic flow. According to ARY News, this decision was made to address the increased traffic congestion expected during the pre-iftar rush and the last ten days of Ramadan, particularly around major shopping centers. Sheikh emphasized that 'no leaves will be granted to any personnel,' with exceptions only for genuine emergencies. This move follows the recent replacement of DIG Peer Muhammad Shah, who was removed amid allegations of 'misuse of authority' in a case from the previous year, as reported by Dawn. The Sindh government has tasked Sheikh with managing the traffic challenges during this busy period, highlighting the critical role of traffic management in maintaining public order during religious festivities.
