Enraged PCSIR Society residents stage protest against administrator, secretary

Pakistan News & Features Services

The residents of PCSIR Society in Scheme-33, Gulzar-e-Hijri, Karachi, staged a peaceful protest against the Administrator of the society and its Secretary to demonstrate their disgust against recent incidents of firing, water shortage, thefts and other safety and security related issues besides illegal acts of the administration. 

Dozens of residents, carrying banners inscribed with slogans for ensuring security and safety of the residents, maintained social distancing as part of protective measures against coronavirus during the demonstration. 

Presently the residents of the society are believed to be in a grip of fear due to looming safety and security related issues as well as maladministration and malpractices on the part of office-bearers, vested interests of Administrator Aijaz Ali Shah and the controversial secretary Bashir Ahmed and his sons. 

It may be mentioned here that Gulzar-e--Hijri police have registered a FIR lodged by the residents of the PCSIR Society against firing incidents and safety and security lapses. 

According to details, the society's secretary and his sons have obtained pre-arrest bail from the Court of Additional Sessions Judge Malir in the FIR No 404 of 2020 under section147/148/149/337-HI/506-/B-504/109/337-Al/337Fl from Police Station Sachal. 

The court granted pre-arrest bail in the sum of Rs 25,000 each. The court has also directed the SHO Sachal Police to submit complete papers of the case on May 29 when the accused/petitioners have be summoned to appear before the court. 

The firing incident in the society took place after a scuffle between the secretary and his sons with residents of the society when they protested against series of issues of safety, security, water shortage, and burglaries.

It’s being alleged that two sons of the secretary happen to be employees of the DMC South who called a group from nearby Abbas Town and they resorted to firing resulting in harassment among the residents including women and children. 

The society residents have appealed to DG Rangers and IGP Sindh to take steps to save them from continuous threats and intimidation by the secretary and his sons. They accused the society's administration for mismanagement and embezzlement of funds which when pointed out by residents, they turned furious and resorted to vandalism. 

They have leveled similar charges against the society’s administrator, alleging that they minted millions of rupees through various illegal means and illegal conversion of amenity plots for school, ground and dispensary into residential and commercial. 

The residents have also urged the Director General Cooperative Societies as well as the provincial Minister Cooperation to order an inquiry into the matter and remove the administrator prior to starting it.

Dr. Zeelaf Munir Calls for Supply Chain Reforms to Strengthen Pakistan’s Food Security at Breathe Pakistan 2026

  Karachi: At the recently held Breathe Pakistan 2026 conference, where EBM participated as the principal partner, the company’s Managing Director and CEO Dr. Zeelaf Munir emphasized the urgent need to rebuild Pakistan’s agricultural supply chain to ensure long-term food security and sustainable development. Addressing participants at the event, Dr. Zeelaf Munir stated that while initiatives such as improved seeds, affordable credit facilities, and crop insurance are important, they alone cannot transform the lives of smallholder farmers unless the supply chain that follows agricultural production is fundamentally restructured. She highlighted that Pakistan’s food security is being “made or lost” within the post-farm supply chain, stressing that inefficiencies in storage, transportation, distribution, and market access continue to limit the benefits reaching farmers and consumers alike. Dr. Munir further noted that the transformation required in Pakistan’s agri-food sector must ...
