SITE Association extortion warning
The SITE Association of Industry (SAI) has issued a formal warning regarding a resurgence of the “extortion mafia” and a series of robberies targeting factories within Karachi’s oldest industrial estate. During a meeting with IG Police Sindh Javed Alam Odho, business leaders emphasized that the deteriorating law-and-order situation is directly undermining the nation’s industrial productivity and economic stability.
Key Concerns and Demands
- Security Overhaul: Industrialists are demanding a comprehensive restructuring of the security apparatus to protect workers and assets from organized crime.
- Economic Sabotage: The SAI noted that persistent extortion and theft are creating a “breaking point” for businesses, threatening Pakistan’s overall industrial output.
- Urgent Intervention: The association called upon the provincial government and law enforcement to establish a stable and safe environment for continued commercial operations.
