SUKKUR: Residents and civil society representatives have expressed concern over the alleged open operation of gambling and betting activities in various parts of Sukkur, urging authorities to take immediate action.
According to local reports, alleged gambling operations, including Akra Parchi and other betting games, are reportedly being conducted in the jurisdictions of A-Section, B-Section, New Pind, and C-Section police stations, including areas such as Jannat Building, Numaish No. 5, Bhoosa Lane, and Micro Colony.
Residents claim that the alleged illegal activities are continuing due to a lack of effective action, resulting in financial losses for many young people. They also expressed concern that minors are reportedly becoming involved in such activities, raising fears of an increase in social problems and crime.
Citizens and social activists have called upon the Chief Justice of Pakistan, the Federal Interior Minister, the Inspector General of Sindh Police, the DIG Sukkur, the SSP Sukkur, and the ASP Sukkur to take notice of the situation and ensure strict action to eliminate alleged gambling and other illegal activities from the city.
The allegations have been made by local residents and community representatives. An official response from the relevant authorities was not included in the report.
