He urged the Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah to take notice of the rising street crimes and order enhanced security arrangements at markets and shopping centres.

Criminals are moving freely without any fear of arrest," he said and urged the Inspector General (IG) Police to intensify police patrolling around the commercial markets and at public places and ensure people are protected.
