Karachi is again a city of lights: DG Rangers

Ranger's chief said participation of a large number of people in the festival is a sign of revival

KARACHI: Paramilitary Sindh Rangers Director General (DG) Maj-Gen Mohammed Saeed has said Karachi has reclaimed it status as the city of lights, which is flourishing and whose citizens are no longer afraid for their lives.

“The city has once again become a city of lights. Today people from every walk of life are happy and businesses are flourishing,” Saeed said while speaking at a youth festival held at Peoples Football Stadium in Karachi’s Lyari area.



The Ranger’s chief said participation of a large number of people in the festival was a sign of this revival of law and order in an area earlier regarded as a den of crimes and gang war.

He said Karachi had witnessed a bloodbath and terrorists and criminals had made people's life miserable here.  He appealed to the people of Lyari to help law enforcers and send their children to schools. In the festival, famous artists like Shehzad Roy, Shazia Khushk and Jawad Ahmed also performed.

Abdul Sattar Edhi's son Faisal Edhi also attended the function.
