KARACHI : The Transport Ittehad Karachi which represents buses, mini buses, coaches, trucks, rickshaws, taxis, yellow cabs, Suzuki etc observing a strike in Karachi.
The Ittehad calls the strike in protest against the hiking price of fuel. Public transport including buses, wagons, coaches, rickshaw and taxis is not on the road. People along the roads and on bus stops are helpless, and hopelessly waiting for a bus or wagon to take them to their work places, schools, hospitals etc but their wait is in vain.
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.
