Karachi LG elections likely to be postponed again

Karachi (HRNW) The local bodies elections in Karachi are likely to be postponed again as the police and other government departments have said they will not be able to provide manpower.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is holding a meeting to decide about the fate of local government elections in the port city. Earlier, the commission announced that the LG polls in all seven districts of Karachi will be held on October 23.

Now, Sindh Police and other government departments have said that they will not be able to provide force to help the ECP conduct polls in the city.

The departments said that they will not be able to provide manpower due to floods.

The local bodies elections in the provincial capital has already been canceled twice.
