Sindh government has decided to compensate the owners of the vehicles torched in the May 9 riots in Karachi. On May 9, motorcycles and a car had been torched by rioters on Karachi’s Sharea Faisal during protests against the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan. Sindh government’s spokesperson Murtaza Wahab announced that new motorcycles will be given to the affected owners. He added that PTI miscreants damaged public and private properties on May 9. He added that the affected motorcycle owners should share the details of their vehicles with the police.
Earlier in the month, the Sindh government had approved the construction of houses to resettle the affected people of three Nullahs in Karachi’s Malir Development Authority (MDA) area. The approval was granted in the Sindh cabinet meeting held in Karachi with CM Murad in the chair.
