Jackson Police Station at Keamari Karachi is celebrating 100 years of its establishment. The premises of the Police Station have been given an uplift. The most important feature of the building is that the facade is restored and preserved to its original glory.
Before partition, when there were fewer police stations in Karachi, the b
Jurisdiction of Jackson Police Station extended up to the inner limits of the sea, Bhuj, Okha and Dwarka. Later, after the Docks Police Station was created, the boundaries of Jackson Police Station got limited. After independence the limits shrunk further.
Unfortunately, Jackson Police Station building is not included in Cultural Heritage Site. Mule's Mansion next door has now been added to the lust after 75 years of independence. Keamari groin building is also included.
In the past, when terrorism was at its peak in Karachi, it was the only police station in whose areas of jurisdiction there was not a single incident.
