KARACHI: Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Monday expressed his satisfaction on the overall law and order situation in Karachi.

“Street crimes are the major concern all over the country but the overall situation of law and order is under control with due efficiency of the police and Rangers in Karachi,” he said while talking to media representatives after offering the Eidul Azha prayer at the Babul Islam mosque.

He said directives had been issued to the police and other law enforcing agencies to curb all criminal activities.
