At least six people were killed and several others injured in a clash between the Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) workers ahead of local body (LB) elections.
According to reports, supporters of both the parties rallied ahead of the local government polls. As soon as the rallies reached Rehmani Chowk, enthusiasts entered an argument.
The situation intensified and both the sides opened fire that continued after regular intervals and claimed six lives. The clash left several persons wounded while six vehicles were partially destroyed. Rangers reached the crime site to counter the tension.
Chief Minister (CM) Qaim Ali Shah took notice of the incident and summoned a report from the Sindh police inspector general (IG). The chief minister, on the other hand, ordered the law enforcers to ensure peace and control the situation.
