Shrines without security!

Despite suicide bombings at Abdullah Shah Ghazi Shrine this month, the provincial government seems reluctant to adopt precautionary measures at the shrines in the city for avoiding such incidents in future. Amid threats to shrines by terrorist groups, neither the home department nor the Auqaf department are ready to own the responsibility of security for shrines where a large number of devotees visit so frequently.
There are some 79 shrines in the city. Among them, three are in Lyari, five in Clifton, 14 in Jamshaid Town, 18 in Keamari Town and 39 in Saddar. All these shrines are situated in the southern part of the city. Shrines of Abdullah Shah Ghazi, Zinda Peer, Peer Bukhari Shah, Misri Shah Baba and Samandri Baba are located in Clifton Town.
