Dacoits operating in the riverbed areas of Pakistan have escalated their criminal activities by stealing security equipment along the Sukkur-Multan motorway, a 200-kilometer stretch connecting Sukkur in Sindh to Rahim Yar Khan in Punjab. These criminals have targeted surveillance cameras, speed cameras, solar panels, and street lights, severely undermining safety measures for travelers. A senior police official noted that since last month, the thefts have significantly hampered law enforcement's ability to monitor the highway and enforce speed limits. The riverbed of the Indus, which spans thousands of square kilometers, has become a haven for these dacoits, who are also involved in robberies and kidnappings for ransom. In response to this growing threat, the government is actively seeking solutions to safeguard the stolen equipment and enhance security for travelers on this vital route.
