Mobile phone owners in Karachi will soon receive their stolen devices worth Rs2.2 million, as the Citizens-Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) finalizes plans to return recovered gadgets to rightful owners. This initiative marks a strong move to restore public trust and highlight law enforcement’s progress against street crime.
Mobile snatching has been a long-standing issue in Karachi, costing citizens millions annually. The CPLC, in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, has been actively working to track and recover stolen phones using the IMEI database and verification systems.
According to officials, the CPLC has successfully recovered a batch of stolen mobile phones valued at Rs2.2 million. These devices will be handed back to their owners after proper verification. The initiative not only helps victims reclaim their property but also discourages the resale of stolen gadgets in illegal markets.
The recovery drive has been welcomed by citizens as a positive step. Experts believe that regular crackdowns and return initiatives could significantly curb mobile theft in Karachi. But questions remain: Will this initiative be extended regularly? How effectively can authorities prevent future snatchings?
