Pakistan Rangers is taking the lead in the ongoing Karachi operation, with Karachi police giving it support in many of raids it conducts.
So far, Rangers have been able to bring much of situation under its control as far as law and order goes. Most of the criminal factions have been forced to go in permanent hiding or been arrested.
Rangers' recent statement sent shock waves across Karachi as some political factions are playing blame game instead of supporting Rangers in putting an end to terrorism and crime. One political party, which Rangers avoided exposing in the media, seemed a little hurt after Rangers conducted several raids in their strongholds. Several target killers were arrested, some even killed in encounters.
There is a growing concern among traders and business community of Karachi that how long this clean-up operation will go on as business activity has got hurt the most. However, there is a considerable progress that traders have noticed as law and order situation in main business districts has improved. Extortion rackets still exist, but criminals are finding it hard to carry out their activities.
