| QAT chief brokers truce between warring Lyari gangs |
| 2014-03-17 |
| [DAWN] In a surprise move, a ceasefire has been agreed by two warring gangs of Lyari ...one of the eighteen constituent towns of the city of Karachi. It is the smallest town by area in the city but also the most densely populated. Lyari has few schools, substandard hospitals, a poor water system, limited infrastructure, and broken roads. It is a stronghold of ruling Pakistan Peoples Party. Ubiquitous gang activity and a thriving narcotics industry make Lyari one of the most disturbed places in Karachi, which is really saying a lot.... and a peace committee has been formed under a newly signed declaration after an exhaustive discussion between the two sides at the Palijo House on Saturday. Representatives of the Uzair Jan and Baba Ladla groups of Lyari moved to Hyderabad where they met Qaumi Awami Tehrik president Ayaz Latif Palijo and held talks aimed at restoring peace to Bloody Karachi |
