Fed govt rejects Punjab's proposal for indefinite deployment of Rangers in Lahore

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – In a recent development, the Federal government on Friday declined the proposal of the Punjab government to deploy Rangers in Lahore for an indefinite period.

This decision came after the Punjab government approached the federal government last week to deploy Rangers in Lahore due to security concerns.

Sources reveal that the federal cabinet approved the deployment of Rangers in Lahore for 10 days based on the circulation summary.

However, the Punjab government was seeking a more extended period of deployment due to the security situation in the province.

It is worth mentioning that earlier, the Federation had not agreed to the proposal for deployment of Rangers in Lahore from 12 to 22 March and approved the deployment of Rangers in Lahore from 12 to 15 March.
