Karachi:At least five more people were killed and several others injured as gun battle continued in the narrow lanes of Lyari neighbourhood for the fifth consecutive day on Monday.
Three people were killed when armed men opened fire on a passenger bus at Shershah intersection while two other people were shot dead in different parts of the conflict zone which turned to be battle field after “gangsters” gunned down a local leader of Pakistan People’s Party last week.
People were seen leaving their houses as law enforcers continued efforts to overcome gangsters holed up in the area.
Media reports said that the criminals fired rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) and used other sophisticated weapons against the law enforcers led by CID SP Chaudhry Aslam.
Several offices of the PPP were set on fire as party workers left the locality to save their lives. The media reports said despite the lapse of four days, police could not make their way in the area and had spent all the resources at infamous Cheel Chowk.
Around 100,000 people have been suffering due to heavy exchange of fire over the last four days and run short of basic necessities like, food,water, milk etc.
