Sindh’s new forensic science laboratory is nearing completion and is expected to become fully operational by December 2026.
Progress on the project, along with the digitization and automation of the Sindh Criminal Prosecution Service, was reviewed during a meeting at the Sindh Assembly Building.
The meeting was chaired by Sindh Assembly Standing Committee on Home Chairperson Faryal Talpur and attended by Home and Law Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar, senior government officials, and forensic and technical experts.
Officials said construction of the laboratory building had entered its final stages, while preparations were underway to make the facility fully functional.
Once operational, the laboratory will offer DNA and biological examination, fingerprint analysis, toxicology and drug testing, firearms and ballistics examination, crime-scene analysis, evidence recovery and preservation, and digital and computer forensics.
The meeting also reviewed equipment requirements, recruitment of qualified personnel, specialized training, quality assurance, and international accreditation.
International experts briefed participants on global practices for operating multidisciplinary forensic laboratories and discussed models relevant to law enforcement agencies, prosecution services, and judicial institutions.
Faryal Talpur said the project should be developed as a credible scientific institution capable of providing police, prosecutors, and courts with timely, reliable, and scientifically verifiable evidence.
She directed the relevant departments to coordinate on infrastructure, technology, staffing, training, and operational protocols to ensure the laboratory becomes fully functional as planned.
