Three shops burgled despite tight security
A burglary incident at three shops near Empress Market, despite strict security measures, has exposed the flaws in the police's foolproof security arrangements. The shops and markets accessible through the passageway were sealed after a thorough search and sweep by the police to ensure the security of the main procession commemorating the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali (RA). However, despite this, the incident of looting millions of rupees, mobile phones, and other goods from the three shops raises questions about the police's performance. The targeted shops included a mobile phone store and a dry fruit shop. The suspects broke the shutters and locks to enter the shops. President of the Karachi Mobile and Electronics Dealers Association Minhaj Gulfam expressed strong resentment over the incident, calling it highly shocking. He demanded immediate arrest of the accused and the recovery of stolen cash, mobile phones, and other valuables. Speaking to The Express Tribune, Minhaj Gulfam revealed that thieves made off with Rs2.8 million in cash, mobile phones worth Rs four million, and other goods. He lamented that traders in the city are frequently targeted by robbers and thieves. On Friday afternoon, robbers also snatched Rs550,000 in cash from a trader on Abdullah Haroon Road in the Preedy police station jurisdiction. Despite foolproof security for the central procession, the burglary has shocked traders, proving that criminals have no fear of the police and law enforcement agencies. The shopkeepers have contacted the police, and legal proceedings are underway. Minhaj Gulfam warned that if the police fail to provide protection and traders continue to suffer losses, they will stage a protest against the authorities.

Previously, Ministry of Energy sources told The Express Tribune that the gross addition to the circular debt had been estimated at Rs417 billion for fiscal year 2024-25 in spite of raising power tariffs from July. The circular debt stood at Rs2.383 trillion by June this year, already higher than the commitment given to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and more than the threshold approved by the federal cabinet last year under the Circular Debt Management Plan 2023-24. After adding an estimated Rs417 billion, the debt will jump to Rs2.8 trillion by taking into account the power sector losses and inefficiencies.

This will restrict the debt to Rs2.42 trillion by June next year.
