Police decide to set up anti-riots force.

KARACHI -- Karachi police has decided to establish a force tilled 'Anti Riots Force' to handle the protesters crating law and order situation.

The decision to establish such a force has been taken followed by the three days consecutive protest erupted across the country against the Supreme Court's decision of acquitting Aasia Bibi.

The anti-riot force will tackle riots and unlawful protests from disrupting law and order situation and will be equipped with gear riots to deal with the protests and rallies in the city.

The anti-riot force with 350 jawans will be unarmed while they will be equipped with gear riots such as batons, riot helmets, masks, teargas shells to stop stone pelting and baton-charge in protests.

The police department is likely to increase the number of jawans in the anti-riot force to 1, 000. 'Soon we will have 1000 jawans in the anti-riot force,' says Additional IG Karachi Dr Amir Shaikh.

He was addressing a force at a ceremony at Police Headquarters, Garden on Tuesday.
