ISLAMABAD: Ministry of Interior on Wednesday issued orders for the deployment of Rangers at polling stations during by-election in Karachi’s NA-240 constituency.
“The Rangers will be deployed outside all polling stations of NA-240 during by-poll from June 15 to 17,” the interior ministry said in its order.
The ministry issued the order for maintenance of law and order at the request of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
It is pertinent to mention here that the ECP had declared all polling stations for the NA-240 by-polls as sensitive. The seat had fallen vacant after the death of MQM-P MNA Iqbal Muhammad Ali Khan on April 19.
The by-election will be conducted on June 16.
