Karachi police release safety advisory for schools, seminaries

KARACHI: In light of the recent surge in child kidnappings in Karachi, police have issued a new set of guidelines for schools and seminaries (Madrasa) to ensure children’s safety, ARY News reported.

According to the guidelines issued by Karachi police, children should not be allowed to leave with anyone other than their parents.

The advisory also urges parents not to send their children to school or seminaries alone, emphasising the need for supervision during travel.

Earlier, a shocking attempt to abduct a young girl in Korangi’s Bhatai Colony was thwarted after the girl and a woman shouted for help, causing the kidnappers to flee.

The incident took place in Sector D, and CCTV footage of the incident has now been shared.

The video shows a woman walking with the girl on the street when two men on a motorcycle approach them.

One of the men gets off the bike and tries to grab the girl, but she quickly pulls away and starts shouting. The woman also begins calling for help, which makes the kidnapper back off.

Hearing the noise, the man on the motorcycle rushes back, and both men quickly drive away from the scene.

Reports say the kidnapper had threatened the girl, telling her he would cut off her finger if she didn’t cooperate.

The police are now looking into the incident, with the SSP of Korangi confirming that an investigation is ongoing based on the family’s statement.

Legal action is being taken, and the authorities are working to find the suspects involved in this frightening attempt.

This recent attempt has raised questions about the performance of police, as they have been unable to find the culprit behind the kidnaping and death of a minor named Sarim, who went missing from the vicinity of his apartment block in New Karachi.

Similarly, the Karachi police have yet to trace the two minor children who were kidnapped from the Garden West area almost a week ago.

Police remain clueless in the case of 5-year-old Aaliyan and 6-year-old Ali, despite the emergence of CCTV footage of the kidnapping which shows a man and woman on a motorcycle accompanied by both children who appear to be in a semi-conscious state.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...
