LARKANA, Oct 18: Fifty security guards of Zardari clan, in addition to 20 others deployed for Ms Benazir Bhutto’s security have taken over the control of her house on Thursday.

The guards resorted to aerial firing in jubilation on arrival of Ms Benazir Bhutto and three goats were sacrificed at the house while schools in Nau-

dero town remain closed fro the day.

Incidents of aerial firing were also reported from various parts of Larkana.

Officially no extra police had been deployed at the Naudero house as police had not received any fresh instructions to beef up the security there, sources said.

However two scanning gates which were already installed at the house were reactivated at the gates.

The renovation work of Ms Bhutto’s Naudero residence had been completed and local PPP sources expected her visit to the Garhi Khuda Bakhsh Bhutto on Oct 21.
