KARACHI, Pakistan: The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif has said that the Karachi operation will continue till its logical conclusion, and remain across the board and indiscriminate.

The army chief said that peace in Karachi is a priority to revive economic vibrancy and well-being of people while the army will continue to work with the people and government to finish all mafias in the city.
The COAS further said that more recent pattern of killings in Karachi indicates a design which needs to be checked. He directed the intelligence agencies and rangers to trace out, apprehend and expose the perpetrators.
