Sindh police on Wednesday identified 1,150 polling stations as sensitive in the province and asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to provide extra force for the security of the said polling stations.
A senior police said that 350 polling stations in Karachi alone had been identified by the police as sensitive and the force was requesting ten policemen and four Rangers personnel to man these polling stations.
The request from Sindh police came in the wake of a reshuffle in its ranks ordered by the provincial caretaker regime.
The caretaker government is also considering the option of calling the army for the sensitive polling stations but the eventual decision would be taken by the ECP ahead of the polling day.
