  "account": "The Sindh Police has issued a new directive banning the appointment of constables as Station House Officers (SHOs) throughout the province, following orders from Inspector General Javed Alam Odho. The decision, outlined in a circular signed by Additional Inspector General of Police (Operations) Bashir Ahmed Brohi, prohibits any constable from being appointed or posted as SHO in the future. This prohibition builds upon a previous directive issued on May 7, 2026. Despite the earlier warning, officials without proper authorization continue to be appointed as SHOs at various police stations. The circular expresses strong disapproval of such appointments, as they contravene existing police laws, rules, regulations, and departmental procedures. It warns that these appointments threaten the integrity of the police command structure, departmental discipline, accountability, and effective administrative control.
