Street crime

Letter November 20, 2024
Street crime

The escalating issue of street crime in our beloved city, Karachi, is a serious cause for concern. This menace has cast a shadow of fear and insecurity over the lives of its residents. Incidents of snatching of mobile phones and other valuables as well as other forms of street crime like carjacking and burglary have been occurring in the city with alarmingly frequency. These crimes not only deprive citizens of their belongings, but also erode their sense of safety and security.
I urge the concerned authorities to take immediate and stringent action to address this pressing issue. Some of the measures that can be implemented include increased police presence, community policing, modern technology, swift justice and public awareness campaigns. I appeal to the government and law enforcement agencies to prioritise this issue and take decisive steps to make our city safer for everyone. By working together, we can reclaim our streets and restore the peace and harmony that Karachi once enjoyed.
