Rangers to launch FM radio station in Karachi
The Pakistan Rangers are introducing an FM radio station to facilitate direct communication with the citizens of Karachi. This initiative aims to improve law and order by allowing citizens to lodge complaints more easily.

KARACHI: Pakistan Rangers have decided to launch an FM radio station in Karachi to directly communicate with citizens to improve law and order in the metropolis. The main purpose (of the radio station) is to help citizens lodge complaints with the paramilitary force, Voice of Journalists reported. Rangers have been given police powers to weed out criminals and restore peace in the city. Though it is a normal practice for law enforcement agencies to run radio stations for public good, it is yet to be seen how the Rangers’ initiative would be received by the public.

Key Points

  • Rangers to launch an FM radio station in Karachi.
  • The radio station aims to enhance communication with citizens.
  • Citizens can lodge complaints directly through the radio.
  • Rangers have police powers to tackle crime in Karachi.
  • The public's reception of this initiative remains to be seen.
