Karachi Chamber slams poor security

KARACHI: The business community has expressed grave concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the city and alleged that the Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) are not doing enough to restore peace. Businessmen Group leader Siraj Kassam Teli and Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) president Abdullah Zaki expressed sheer discontent over various measures adopted by the LEAs to deal with rising lawlessness in Karachi. The strategies adopted by the Federal and Sindh governments to restore peace in Karachi have failed to yield positive results, they said. “Businessmen and industrialists provide jobs to millions of people besides contributing 67 per cent revenue from Karachi but sadly they are not taken on board with regards to the law and order situation and are not even invited in the review meetings of the Karachi operation,” the businessmen said.
