https://www.dawn.com/news/2029235
On Friday, the Sindh Assembly unanimously approved a resolution extending the deployment of Pakistan Rangers in the province for another year. The paramilitary force was initially introduced in Sindh in 1989 under Article 147 of the Constitution. Sindh Home Minister Zia Lanjar presented the resolution, which approved the expansion of Rangers' deployment from July 20, 2026, to July 19, 2027, to aid the civil administration.
The resolution highlighted the importance of Rangers' presence in maintaining public peace and protecting life and property, especially given the current law and order situation in Sindh. It noted their crucial role in intelligence-based operations, apprehending criminals, recovering illegal weapons, and contributing to reducing incidents of crime.
Furthermore, the resolution acknowledged that the security environment remained challenging, with the continued threat posed by proscribed organizations and high-profile fugitives.
The Sindh Assembly's unanimous decision to extend Rangers' deployment reflects the government's commitment to ensuring law and order and protecting citizens' safety during the upcoming year.
