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.
