KARACHI: Foiling another bid to spread unrest in Karachi, law enforcement personnel recovered weapons buried in Karachi’s Lal Qila Ground in Azizabad on Sunday.
Security officials took around two hours to completely clear the site. The weapons were moved to an undisclosed location.
The weapons recovered included SMGs, LMGs, 9mm pistols and a large number of cartridges.
This interesting development comes a day after Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-led Sindh government extended Sindh Rangers special powers in Karachi for another 90 days.
The policing powers of paramilitary Rangers had expired on April 15 after which a summary was forwarded to Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah seeking extension of the special powers of Rangers.
Earlier on 31st March, Sindh Rangers seized large cache of arms and ammunition buried in the graveyard of Bagh-e-Korangi.
The action was launched on the information given by a detained activist of a political party.
