Further, it assesses the origin, developments and ramifications of the CID in Sind, including the reorganization of the Sind CID by John Court Curry in 1917, the work done by Rao Sahib Narindas of CID in 1927, and a discussion on Sind CID's detection of bomb explosions in Karachi in the 1930s and the 1940s and the administrative organizational situation and problems of the CID in the districts of Hyderabad and Tharparkar. Last, the article gives details of operational performance during the Hur insurgency, 1942-43, and the interconnected issues of the severe inadequacy of advance information on Hur gangs and their activities despite efforts by the CID.
