href="/wiki/Law_enforcement_in_Pakistan" title="Law enforcement in Pakistan">law enforcement</a> corps' in <a href="/wiki/Pakistan" title="Pakistan">Pakistan</a>. The two corps are the <a href="/wiki/Punjab_Rangers" title="Punjab Rangers">Punjab Rangers</a> (operating in <a href="/wiki/Punjab,_Pakistan" title="Punjab, Pakistan">Punjab province</a> with headquarters in <a href="/wiki/Lahore" title="Lahore">Lahore</a>) and the <a href="/wiki/Sindh_Rangers" title="Sindh Rangers">Sindh Rangers</a> (operating in <a href="/wiki/Sindh" title="Sindh">Sindh</a> province with headquarters in Karachi). There is also a third corps headquarters in <a href="/wiki/Islamabad" title="Islamabad">Islamabad</a> but is only for units transferred from the other corps for duties in the federal capital. They are both part of the <a href="/wiki/Civil_Armed_Forces" title="Civil Armed Forces">Civil Armed Forces</a>. The corps' operate administratively under the <a href="/wiki/Pakistan_Army" title="Pakistan Army">Pakistan Army</a> but under separate command structures and wear distinctly different uniforms. However, they are usually commanded by officers on secondment from the Pakistan Army. Their primary purpose is to secure and defend the approximately 2,200 km (1,400 mi) long <a href="/wiki/India%E2%80%93Pakistan_border" title="India–Pakistan border">border with neighbouring India</a>. They are also often involved in major internal and external security operations with the regular <a href="/wiki/Pakistan_Armed_Forces" title="Pakistan Armed Forces">Pakistani military</a> and provide assistance to provincial police forces to maintain law and order against crime, terrorism and unrest. In addition, the Punjab Rangers, together with the Indian <a href="/wiki/Border_Security_Force" title="Border Security Force">Border Security Force</a>, participate in an elaborate <a href="/wiki/Attari%E2%80%93Wagah_border_ceremony" title="Attari–Wagah border ceremony">flag lowering ceremony</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Wagah" title="Wagah">Wagah</a>−<a href="/wiki/Attari" title="Attari">Attari</a> border crossing east of Lahore. The mutually-recognized <a href="/wiki/India%E2%80%93Pakistan_border" title="India–Pakistan border">India–Pakistan international border</a> is different from the disputed and heavily militarized <a href="/wiki/Line_of_Control" title="Line of Control">Line of Control (LoC)</a>, where the Pakistani province of Punjab adjoins Jammu and Kashmir (a <a href="/wiki/Kashmir_conflict" title="Kashmir conflict">conflict territory</a> between India and Pakistan) and the undisputed international border effectively ends. Consequently, the LoC is not managed by the paramilitary Punjab Rangers, but by the regular <a href="/wiki/Pakistan_Army" title="Pakistan Army">Pakistan Army</a>. </p><p>As part of the paramilitary <a href="/wiki/Civil_Armed_Forces" title="Civil Armed Forces">Civil Armed Forces</a>, the Rangers can be transferred to full operational control of the Pakistan Army in wartime and whenever Article 245 of the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Pakistan" title="Constitution of Pakistan">Constitution of Pakistan</a> is invoked to provide "military aid to civil power". An example of this is the Sindh Rangers being <a href="/wiki/Sindh_Rangers#Deployment_in_Karachi" title="Sindh Rangers">deployed in Karachi</a> to tackle rising crime and terrorism.
