The Newspaper's Staff Reporter Published November 11, 2018

KARACHI: Police on Saturday night got control of a seminary and mosque in the Korangi area of Karachi after a clash between two groups left seven people injured, officials said.

“Police took control of both seminary and mosque to prevent the situation from deteriorating after the clash,” said Karachi East Zone DIG Amir Farooqi.

The officer said that seminary was controlled by one group while the mosque’s management was with the other group. The two groups often fought each other over ‘donations, water and plucking coconut from a coconut tree, etc’.

However, on Saturday night, simmering dispute took an ugly turn and seven persons got injured during the clash.

Meanwhile, Sindh IGP Dr Syed Kaleem Imam took notice of the incident and sought a detailed inquiry report from Korangi SSP, said a police spokesperson.

Why there are two groups in same center? One should either quit or both should have equal opportunity to function

That is also important who is real owner of land and which group had built it. The same group will only function there. The other should better quit.

What is the news in saying, " Sindh IGP Dr Syed Kaleem Imam took notice of the incident"? That is his normal job for which he is being paid for. If he takes notice of such matters, it is as good as saying, "he worked on one of his scheduled duties", which is not any news.

@M. Saeed, - why are you so critical? What is your job and if you’re justifying the money you are receiving. Be positive and write constructive comments please. Thanks

Seminaries are a part of generation of money and good life style for many in Pakistan. Young and able men become part of seminary for making easy livelihood. Handsome money comes in and that create factions and issues. If possible then government must slowly change schools courses to include religious education and that will bring an end to these seminaries.
