Garbage / rag pickers Afghani boys must be apprehended by SECURITY & VIGILANCE, as they have been found in street crimes particularly thefts; what is SECURITY & VIGILANCE Directorates plan on this?

Firstly, apprehension may not be a right word to be used here, as it is an exclusive domain of LEAs only. Secondly SECURITY & VIGILANCE Dte does two things i.e. confiscation of the bicycles / motorcycles used by these garbage / rag pickers and handing over of these boys to Police. The problem confronted by police is that gradually every Afghani boy is being found in possession of valid CNIC. Nevertheless, whatever possible, is being done by S&V Dte to discourage them e.g. as per new policy, confiscated items are not being returned before 4 – 6 months.
