Traders decry spike in robberies

Traders in Hyderabad raise concerns over rising thefts and robberies, urging authorities to ensure security.

HYDERABAD:

A representative body of traders, Anjuman Tajran Sindh, Hyderabad chapter, has expressed deep concern on increasing cases of theft and robbery in the city.

In a meeting held at the central office of Anjuman Tajran Sindh District Hyderabad, central leaders Waqar Hameed Memon, Ali Raza Arain, Javed Shams, Salahuddin Ghori, Sajid Hussain Solangi, Amjad Arain and others expressed their reservations over the increasing incidents in the city particularly robbery at Shah Latif Dairy Latifabad on Monday.

Meanwhile Chief Minister Murad Ali has asked IG Sindh Police to not consider trader community abandoned as they completely pay taxes and despite this, proper security was not being provided to them.

Chairman Law and Order Sajid Hussain Solangi has appealed to take immediate notice of this incident to arrest the criminals and recover the stolen property and provide security to the traders for the future, otherwise the traders will soon announce their common plan of action.
