Saboteurs to be 'shot-on-sight' |
2008-02-17 |
Punjab Rangers Deputy Director General Brigadier Qaisar Khan Tareen said on Saturday that Rangers deployed in 26 “sensitive” districts had been given shoot-on-sight orders for the February 18 elections. Addressing a press conference at Rangers Headquarters, he said no one would be allowed to engage in subversive activities. Anyone carrying weapons would be arrested, their weapons seized and licences forfeited, he added. Separately, AIG Malik Muhammad Iqbal, under Police Order 2002, imposed a two-day ban on carrying weapons, or any other item that could be used to inflict injury. A handout said the ban would remain in force on February 17 and February 18. |
