KARACHI: A high-level security meeting took place at the headquarters of Pakistan Rangers Sindh.

The meeting, chaired by Rangers director general Major General Azhar Waqas, focused on reviewing Karachi’s law and order situation, with particular attention to security arrangements for Muharram.

During the meeting, law enforcement agencies thoroughly reviewed the security measures for Muharram processions across the province and approved the related action plan.

It was decided to enhance joint flag marches and snap checking by the Rangers and police during Muharram.
