Under the government policy, he said that they are bringing a development package for the Kacha area which will bring improvement.

He further said that until we provide employment to the residents of Kacha, complete law and order cannot be established. The minister also noted that the Kacha area faces challenges as both children and adults lack education.

On the recovery of Priya Kumari, he said efforts are underway and the government stands shoulder to shoulder with the Hindu community. The dacoits suspected of keeping Priya Kumari have been killed, he confirmed.

Rejecting reports about police salaries, the minister said, the impression that Sindh Police personnel receive lower salaries than Punjab Police is incorrect."
