Chairman All Pakistan Dry Ports Association (APDPA) Muhammad Ishaque Butt has expressed his deep concern over the firing incidents and arson in Sindh on vehicles carrying valuable export from Sialkot to Karachi. In a press statement issued on Friday evening, he said that in a latest incident following the strike call given by Sindh Nationalist parties, a vehicle No TLB-733 belonging to Sialkot Dry Port Trust was fired upon near Hingorja Ranipur and then was set ablaze along with export worth millions.
The exporters demanded immediate security measures to be taken by the government to eliminate such incidents in future and arrest of culprits involved, he said. Butt said they further demanded that patrolling of law enforcing agencies on National and Super Highways should be made effective to save the life line of Pakistan. Ishaque Butt enunciated that exporters were already under pressure due to continuously increasing cost of doing business as well as energy crisis as a result of which the business community was facing difficulties to compete internationally.
