Poll: How would you stop the violence in Karachi?
According to a news report in Dawn, July has been the bloodiest month in Karachi since 1995. More than 200 people have been killed in the country’s economic capital since the beginning of the month, and the spate of violence continues in several parts of the city.
While notices have been taken, high-level meetings called and peace committees formed, none of these measures have put a stop to the bloodshed, not even the late but eventual deployment of Rangers and police in certain areas.
We’ve heard enough of official statements. What we want to know is what you think:
What in your view is the solution to Karachi’s law-and-order situation? How does one put an end to this bloodshed?
