Karachi violence: What have you seen?

On Wednesday, at least 25 people were killed and 40 injured while 20 vehicles were torched in different parts of Karachi. Trouble began in North Karachi when armed men opened fire on Zarina Colony, leading to an alteraction with Rangers personnel. Incidents also occured in Surjani Town, New Karachi Industrial Area, Khawaja Ajmair Nagri, Landhi and Malir.

Do you live in any of the affected areas? Did you witness the clashes? What is the situation in the affected areas on Thursday? Is tension prevailing or is there a modicum of calm in the wake of MQM chief Altaf Hussain’s appeal for peace? Share your stories with Dawn.com.

    I live in Gulshan… and on the drive to work this morning via Shaharah-e-Faisal all the way to II Chundrigar Road, there was just one ranger with a gun… so much for security patrol and shoot at sight orders…

    Normal pathan and mohajir have no animosity and this clash seems to be agency backed or either foreign backed.

    I live in the affected area. The violence is largely due to the dominant political party of Karachi.
