Yet another three-month extension in Sindh Rangers powers

KARACHI: Given the law and order situation in Karachi additional authorities for Sindh Rangers have been extended for yet another three months, Geo News reported Wednesday.

A notification has been issued by the Sindh government.

Under the authority, Rangers are allowed to seal exit/entry points and conduct searches in all five districts of Karachi.

The Provincial Home Department has issued the notification in this regard under which rangers could use brute force against culprits.

These powers enable the paramilitary troops to search any premises without any warrants.

In addition to this, they can open fire at miscreants in their defence.

Furthermore, they can also besiege any area in case of the presence of culprits there.
