The federal government and law enforcement agencies have collaborated to free Karachi of target killings, terror outfits operatives and street crimes. The collaboration came into being in form of a targeted operation launched in September 2013. The operation was led by Pakistan Rangers. The federal and provincial government extended Rangers authority in Karachi whenever it was needed in the past.
The locals in different districts of Karachi support Rangers’ stay. Target killings and cases involving other crimes have lessened since the start of operation.
