KARACHI: President, SITE Association of Industry, Abdul Rasheed, has expressed grave concern over the increasing number of crimes in SITE Karachi which is the oldest and largest industrial zone of Pakistan.
He has requested the Karachi Police Chief to take effective measures to provide security of lives and properties to the industrialists and workers of the SITE area and for this purpose, police patrolling should be increased to apprehend criminals.
In a statement, Abdul Rasheed said that the incidents of cash and vehicle snatching are becoming a matter of routine in SITE area Karachi, particularly snatching of valuables, snatching of salary of workers and motorcycles and other vehicles.
He added that criminals now commit robberies in factories in broad daylight and escape easily. Despite raising of voice the Association about such crimes, the SITE area is still not free from street crimes.
SAI chief further said that it will not be possible to continue industrial production uninterrupted in the absence of improved law and order situation. Such elements are the reason behind no visit of SITE area by foreign buyers.
As such, effective strategy should be adopted to make the SITE area crime-free, and apart from increasing police patrolling, a vigilant eye should be kept on anti-social elements to ensure the security of lives and properties of industrialists and workers so that they could run factories without fear which will ultimately have a positive impact on country’s economy.
