KARACHI: Rangers’ special powers in Sindh expired on Sunday but the provincial government, using delaying tactics, has not yet sent summary of extension in Rangers powers to the federation.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah had extended Rangers’ special powers in the province on October 18, 2016 soon after assuming the office.
Rangers were given powers under Section-5 of the Anti Terrorism Act 1997 according to which Rangers personnel would be authorised to conduct a raid and arrest accused in any area of the metropolis. NNI
