Karachi: Heavy contingents of police and Frontier Constabulary (FC) were deployed in Lyari on Monday indicating start of “targeted operations” the IGP Sindh pointed out on Sunday, sources said on Monday.
The sources said that heavy contingents of FC officials reached at Eidgah, Kharadar and Risala police stations.
“These officials will be deployed at entry and exit points of Lyari and adjoining business centres,” they added.
Earlier on Sunday, the police chief hinted at plans to launch targeted operations in some localities instead of a large-scale crackdown.
The police and Frontier Constabulary personnel had withdrawn from Lyari on Friday evening after failing to achieve desired results during the weeklong operation that had left at least 36 people, including five policemen, dead and over 150 others wounded.
