In a bid to combat street crime plaguing Karachi, Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori has taken an unconventional approach – offering free motorbikes and cellphones to victims as a form of compensation. With over 1,700 motorcycles stolen in the city last year, Tessori aims to ease the financial burden on affected individuals.

“Bring your original CNIC and FIR to Governor House,” declared Tessori, “and I will provide you with a new motorbike and cellphone.” This unique initiative sparks discussions on its effectiveness and sustainability in tackling the broader issue of Karachi’s safety.

While acknowledging the city’s struggles, Tessori emphasized the collaborative effort needed to overcome them. He highlighted ongoing initiatives like issuing health insurance cards offering treatment up to Rs500,000 and providing free rations and iftar meals to hundreds of thousands.

Beyond immediate aid, Tessori announced upcoming free IT courses to equip residents with valuable skills. These efforts showcase a multifaceted approach to address Karachi’s challenges, aiming to improve not only security but also empower the underprivileged.

Whether free motorbikes become a successful crime deterrent or not, Tessori’s initiative sparks a crucial conversation about tackling insecurity creatively. As Karachi strives for a safer future, this step, along with other ongoing projects, paints a picture of a proactive governor seeking out unconventional solutions for lasting impact.
