All illegal barriers on all the streets should be removed immediatly, these barriers are the support for target killers mafia. Also occupied places on public parks by political mafias should be converted to Rangers Chokees i.e. Hasrat mohani model park, rafa-e-aam, where barriers has been removed by rangers 2 days ago, here one political party occupied a corner of park, and made its unit office, which looks like an army unit.
Arresting criminals is a useless exercise. Nobody will come forward to prove their guilt and soon these criminals will be on streets again. The only winners will be lawyers and judges of lower courts.
