The Sindh Assembly has unanimously approved a resolution extending the powers and deployment of the Pakistan Rangers in the province for another year.
The resolution was presented by Sindh Law Minister Zia Lanjar during the assembly session. According to the text of the resolution, the Rangers have carried out effective operations against crime in coordination with the police and other law-enforcement agencies.
The resolution stated that these joint operations have contributed to a significant reduction in targeted killings, street crime, and other serious offenses across the province.
It further emphasized that the continued deployment of the Rangers was necessary to maintain law and order and protect the lives and property of citizens. The assembly called for the Rangers’ deployment to be extended for another year under Article 147 of the Constitution.
The resolution was passed unanimously, indicating support from both the government and opposition benches for continuing the Rangers’ role in maintaining security in Sindh.
The Rangers have historically played an important role in law-enforcement operations in Karachi and other parts of Sindh, particularly during periods of heightened security concerns and organized crime.
Other Resolutions and Bills
The Sindh Assembly also unanimously passed a resolution paying tribute to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan.
In addition, the provincial legislature approved amendment bills relating to Fatimiyah International University, Iqra University, and the Benazir Bhutto Human Research Board.
The extension of the Rangers’ powers comes as the provincial government continues to rely on cooperation between civilian law-enforcement agencies and paramilitary forces to address serious crime and maintain public security in Sindh.
