Karachi police on Wednesday announced strict penalties and punishments for those involved in aerial firing on New Year’s Eve, as the city prepares to welcome 2026 at midnight. Speaking to the media, Karachi Additional Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Javed Alam Odho said that authorities would identify individuals involved in unlawful activities through Safe City cameras. “There will be no permission for aerial firing or violations of the law. Firing incidents will not be registered as aerial firing cases but as attempted murder,” he said.
