Transport Mafia Once Again Strikes Karachiites

The strike badly affected daily life and the city’s main business centers remained crippled with no major commercial activities. Wholesale and retail traders say they lose more than a billion rupees on each day of business lost due to strikes.

Transporters mafia today once again hit the mega city of Karachi. Despite earning a paramount profit from the city this greedy mafia has never given even a small relief to the Karachiites. These transporters have ties with drug mafia and terrorists have no mercy at all for a civilized society because they belong to the tribal culture where power is god and very thing is right for a tribal lord.

Helpless citizens of Karachi are now looking at the City District Government for a civilized public transport system. CDGK already has its Green Buses (CNG Buses) plying successfully on two routes of Karachi. These buses provide a respectable journey to the commuters. People of Karachi are asking city mayor Mr. Mustafa Kamal to start Green Bus service in all routes of the city.

The Taliban have “huge caches” of weapons and ammunition and “could take the city hostage at any point,” the report said.

The report provides details about secret Taliban hideouts and their presence in areas like Sohrab Goth and Quaidabad.

Besides living in small motels in these areas, the Taliban are hiding in the hills of Manghopir and Orangi town and in other low-income areas and slums, the Daily Times newspaper quoted the police report as saying.

The daily also quoted sources as saying that the deputy chief of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban, Hasan Mahmood, was hiding in Karachi.

The Muttahida Qaumi Movement, which is part of the coalition government in Sindh province, has often warned authorities that the Taliban had established a presence in Karachi. The Daily Times said the Special Branch report had “terrified” police and security personnel. Recently, personnel of the Anti-Violent Crime Cell had raided a guesthouse in Sohrab Goth but the Taliban apprehended them instead.

The militants were trying to execute the policemen when another police party intervened.

Two policemen were killed in the operation while a SSP and 11 other policemen were seriously injured. Police also arrested eight men who were said to be pro-Taliban militants.

On the directives of the Sindh government, a survey has been conducted of guesthouses across Karachi and senior police officials have asked for surveillance of these facilities.
