KARACHI: Residents of Lyari took out a rally on Monday to protest against the operations conducted by rangers and security personnel in their area, particularly the killing of Saqib Boxer who was killed on Friday, reported Express News.
The protesters reached DG Headquarters despite the barricades that were placed in their way.
Pakistan Amn Committee (PAC) leader Uzair Baloch is expected to address the rally participants in a telephonic conference shortly.
The protest led to a massive traffic jam on MA Jinnah road and police officials were deployed in different pockets of the road to stop any untoward incident from happening.
Negotiations between the protesters and the representatives from the security personnel continued but didnt stop the rally from moving forward. DIG South Ameer Sheikh, Deputy Commissioner and SSP South were present to oversee the negotiations.
The police officials were present in approximately as large a number as the protesters, reported Express News correspondent, Rehan Khan.
The protesters moved past the barricades even though it was reported earlier that they wont be allowed to reach Shaheen Complex.
Police officials can resort to firing water cannon, tear gas shelling and aerial firing if need be, reported Khan.
Police cordoned off the area near Shaheen Complex, which is considered the Red Zone for it houses the Governor House and DG Headquarters.
Police commandos and special task force were lined up to prevent any untoward event from happening.
In the opinion of the residents, security personnel take lives of innocent people through their operations and leave target killers roaming free on the streets of Lyari.
The police officials and Rangers personnel refuted the claim said that they only arrest criminals, reported Khan.
The rally began from Lyari and reached till the DG Rangers headquarters despite being asked not to by the authorities.
Rangers have been conducting raids and operations in the Lyari area in an attempt to curb gang wars and terrorism in the area.
