A delegation of the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) headed by its President Tariq Sadiq met Islamabad Inspector General Police Fayyaz Tooro and expressed its dissatisfaction over the performance of federal capital police.
ICCI Senior Vice-President Munawwar Mughal told Business Recorder here on Sunday that organised criminals snatched money from traders and industrialists on busy thoroughfares in broad daylight during the past four months.
He said modus operandi of robbers is that as soon as a person gets out of a foreign bank with cash, robbers, sitting in a separate car outside the bank, chase him and on any red signal snatch money at gunpoint from him.
He said during the meeting, the ICCI delegation demanded of the police to arrest robbers, as FIRs were registered with the concerned police stations. That would give a sense of security and protection to the trading and industrialist community.
The delegation also suggested that businessmen, industrialists and traders' associations be given arms licences so that they could hire their own security men as performance of employees of some private security agencies was not satisfactory and they cannot leave their lives and businesses at their mercy.
According to Mughal, the Islamabad IG agreed with the ICCI delegation that performance of some private security agencies was not up to the mark and he would recommend to the government for cancellation of their licences.
