KARACHI:
The creation of a new district in Karachi appears to have taken the form of a double-edged sword for the ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
On one end, it hints at a possible increase in the party’s number of national and provincial seats in Sindh’s capital. While, on the other, it leaves upon PPP the onus of uplifting the living conditions of several villages that have long dwelled in destitution.

KARACHI:
At least nine people were injured in Defence Housing Authority (DHA) on Wednesday, when a security guard opened fire on the set of a television drama serial at a bungalow on Khayaban-e-Shujaat.
A quarrel between the security guard and the production crew, which was on the premises for the shoot, escalated to firing, said South SSP Zubair Nazeer, quoting initial findings.
The guard, identified as Gul Bai, was arrested immediately while the injured persons were shifted to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC).
