Rampant robbery
My son has been robbed
thrice while driving home after sunset in Korangi industrial area. The last two
robberies happened in the past two weeks. The robbers take advantage of the
traffic jam caused by the rain-damaged road between Murtaza Chowrangi and Vita
Chowrangi. Needless to say, there are no policemen in that vicinity. It would
of course be futile to ask the DIG police or his assistants to post a few cops
along the road, as the 30,000 policemen in Karachi are meant to protect the
chief minister and his advisers. Yet it should not be so difficult to control
the menace.
The robbers apparently
live in nearby villages in the area and sell the stolen cell phones to shops in
Korangi and Malir. If the cops can’t catch the robbers, they should at least
keep these shops under surveillance.
