No improvement in Karachi law and order situation: Ch Nisar

KARACHI: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Said Monday that the law and order situation in Karachi had not improved even after the new government had taken over. Geo News reported.

Speaking to the media upon his arrival at the Jinnah International Airport, Nisar added that he plans to hold meetings with Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Governor Sindh Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan as well as the heads of security institutions to better understand the law and order situation in Karachi.

Nisar further added that unrest in Karachi affects the entire country and it is important to take control of the deteriorating law and order situation and that order cannot be established without taking the matter seriously.

Nisar revealed that he will be meeting Pir Sahib Pagara to discuss the upcoming presidential election and the names of candidates will be announced in the coming days.
