KARACHI: The Sindh Home Department has refuted claims of alerting security threat to Karachi, clarifying that no such letter or notification has been issued by the government.

“The Ministry of Home Affairs has come to the knowledge that a fake notification titled Immediate Security Alert: Increased Threat Level from 12 to 30 November 2025 is being circulated on social media under the name of Additional Chief Secretary (Home),” the ministry said in a statement.

The statement added that no official correspondence bearing the reference number or title mentioned has been issued by the Ministry of Interior or any law enforcement agency operating under its control.

“All genuine security advisories, alerts and notifications are issued exclusively through official channels of the Ministry of Interior or duly authorized law enforcement agencies,” the statement said.

The provincial government has urged the public and media to avoid sharing unverified information and to verify any such communications with official sources before disseminating them.
