 The Election Commission has asked for an urgent report from 6 important institutions for holding local body elections in Karachi.

An important meeting was held in the head office of the Election Commission in Islamabad under the chairmanship of Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja regarding the holding of local elections in Karachi, in which the weather situation in Karachi and the issues of local elections were reviewed.

According to the sources, the Chief Election Commissioner has asked for a report for holding local body elections in Karachi on August 28 and has directed the Secretary Election Commission to take immediate reports from 6 important institutions.

According to the sources, the Chief Election Commissioner has directed to take a report from the Home Secretary, Chief Secretary, IG and DG Rangers.

Apart from this, it has also been directed to take a report from the Provincial Election Commissioner and the Meteorological Department, in which the awareness of the weather situation in the city has been sought.

Sources say that Pakistan Army, Rangers, Police, and other agencies are engaged in relief work in rural Sindh, due to which a report has been sought from the security agencies if the relief work in the flood-affected areas has been affected by polling.

It should be noted that the Election Commission has postponed the polling on August 28 under the second phase of local body elections due to rains and flooding in 9 districts of Hyderabad.
