The miserable citizens of Karachi find no place to go and no means to resort to for seeking some respite from the continuous lawlessness amid violence, arsons and targeted killings that have turned the ‘City of Lights’ into ‘City of Crimes.’
The mindless bloodletting of targeted killings is going on unabated despite the concerned authorities repeated claims and pledged to root out the menace. An average seven to none people are being killed daily in the city during the last two months. The unabated targeted killings, activities of extortionists, violent protests, strikes, and day mornings by political and religious parties have had their detrimental impact on trade and industrial activities.
Industrialists say continued violence coupled with mourning days and strikes have badly disturbed the business environment of city that ultimately hit the economy of country. Export orders being shifted to regional competitors and layoffs have become a normal norm for the city’s industrialists due to the deteriorating law and order situation.
During the week over 50 people were killed and scores other injured in targeted killing incidents in the city. The elements involved in the targeted killing have now resorted to indiscriminate firing on hotels and tea stalls, which remained open till late night or through out the night. Instead of taking action against the people involved the firing incidents on tea stalls and hotels in different areas of the city, Karachi police have ordered the owners of teas stalls and hotels to closed down their concerns early in the night. The illogical ordered invited the ire of citizens and media. A student of a college, Naeem, commented it seemed the Karachi police on day would ask the people not to come out of the homes, so that they could not become victim of targeted killing.
People have strongly criticized the government for its illogical and mindless decision such as banning pillion riding and early closure of tea stalls and
