Sindh Rangers Director General (DG) Major General Bilal Akbar said on Saturday that the targeted operation must continue in Karachi to strengthen peace.

He was speaking at a ceremony organized here by the National Vocational and Technical Education Commission (NAVTEC). He said that the para-military force was playing its full role for the maintenance of law and order in Karachi.

The DG pointed out that there was a marked improvement in the law and order in the metropolis in the wake of Karachi Operation. He declared that the Rangers would further improve the law and order in Karachi and that the drive would continue against terrorists, target killers and their sponsors and financiers. Maj-Gen Bilal Akber said that the Sindh Rangers in collaboration with the federal as well as the provincial governments, were initiating three major initiatives that were skill development to help youngsters obtain jobs.

For this, the preference would be given to those who were relatives of the victims of incidents of terrorism. Another step, he further pointed out, was the `victims support programme’. The data of the victims and affectees of various accidents and mishaps would be collected and help would be provided to these. The third step, he stated, was the reformation centre where those who had been involved in crimes would be reformed to make them a useful member of society.

He said that so far about 30 youngsters have become part of this very initiative. NAVTEC Chief Zulfiqar Cheema also expressed his views on the occasion. The DG also visited various sections of the NEVTEC.
