Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Tuesday inaugurated a cutting-edge facility, the Fusion Centre of the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), aimed at enhancing the provincial government’s counterterrorism efforts.
Established by the National Radio & Telecommunication Corporation, the Fusion Centre is equipped with advanced technology and infrastructure to strengthen the CTD’s capacity to combat terrorism.
“The provincial government has allocated Rs722 million for the Fusion Centre in the fiscal year 2023-24 to support the centre’s operational and developmental needs,” said Shah.
The centre is designed as a central hub that integrates online and offline data from all the relevant stakeholders, enabling efficient analysis, collaboration and decision-making. Through the project the CTD aims to streamline intelligence-sharing, and bolster the scientific investigation of terrorism cases and other government-assigned matters.
Shah said his government is committed to equipping police with modern resources. “The provincial government is focused on strengthening the Sindh police with improved training, transportation, budgetary support and essential equipment.”
He also discussed the persistent threat of terrorism, and expressed his appreciation for the sacrifices made by police, Rangers and other law enforcement agencies. “Our law enforcement agencies have played an invaluable role in maintaining law and order, even at personal cost.”
The Fusion Centre represents a significant step forward in Sindh’s counterterrorism capabilities, as it seeks to improve intelligence-driven policing and enhance public safety across the province.
Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar appreciated the support the CM has been extending to strengthen the police force. The ceremony was also attended by the Sindh police chief, the additional IG and DIG of the CTD, and other senior officials.
