Speaking at a press conference after the Sindh Apex Committee meeting, he said 25 cases have been referred to military courts and the government is planning to send more cases in the future.
Chandio said safe houses would also be established for the protection of witnesses, adding that Karachi has witnessed a significant decline in crime rate.
“Enemies of Sindh are disappointed as representatives from all the relevant institutions attended the Apex Committee meeting,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah presided over the meeting of Sindh Apex Committee, which reviewed over all law and order situation in the province with special focus on Karachi.
