's 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.... neighbourhood, DawnNews reported. TV reports say the target was Pakistain People's Party (PPP) this time which was holding a corner meeting in the wake of coming May 11 polls. The PPP candidate for PS-111 Adnan Baloch is among the injured.

Earlier, at least two people were killed and more than 25 were maimed in two separate blasts near the MQM election office in the city's Orangi Town area. |
