 MATTERS OF GRAVE CONCERN

INCREASING CRIMNAL ACTIVITIES IN KARACHI

WE ARE CONSTRAINED TO INVITE THE URGENT ATTENTION OF ALL OUR VALUED MEMBERS IN KARACHI TO A MATTER OF GRAVE CONCERN TO ALL OF US ABOUT THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE LIFE AND WELFARE OF OUR MEMBER EXPORTERS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE CURRENT MOST DETERIORATING LAW AND ORDER SITUATION IN KARACHI.

KIDNAPPING FOR RANSOM, KILLINGS AND PERFECTLY PRE-PLANNED DACOITIES ARE INCREASING DAY BY DAY. SOME OF OUR LEADING AND PROMINENT MEMBERS HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED FOR RANSOM WITH HUGE DEMAND GOING INTO CRORES OF RUPEES.

WELL ARMED CRIMINALS IN SUITED BOOTED ATTIRE, POSING AS BANK OFFICIALS OR DRESSED IN POLICE UNIFORMS,  DRIVING IN CARS APPROACH BUNGALOWS, RESIDENCES, FACTORIES, GET THE GATES OPENED BY THE SUSCEPTIBLE CHOWKIDAR/GUARD AND DECAMP AFTER LOOTING ALL VALUABLES. SUCH INCIDENTS OF CRIME HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY OUR MEMBERS AND HAVE BECOME A DAILY AFFAIR.

IN VIEW IF SUCH RAMPANT CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES ON A DAILY BASIS, WE WARN ALL OUR VALUED MEMBERS TO TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THEIR LIFE AND PROPERTY AS WELL AS THAT OF THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND REMAIN EXTRA VIGILANT AT ALL TIMES. MEMBERS ARE ALSO ADVISED TO BE EXTRA VIGILANT WHILE DRIVING TO AND FRO TO THEIR FACTORIES/OFFICES AND ISSUE STRICT INSTRUCTIONS TO THEIR CHOWKIDAR/GUARD TO REMAIN ALERT AND VIGILANT AND REFRAIN FROM ALLOWING SUCH DUBIOUS PERSONS UNLESS THIER IDENTITY IS CONFIRMED BEFORE OPENING THE GATE OF THE RESIDENCE/ FACTORY.

Thanks & Best Regards,
