Karachi Under Siege by Tanker Mafia
Over the past two months, Karachi has witnessed a disturbing rise in fatal accidents involving the so-called tanker mafia. These reckless drivers, often operating without proper documentation or regulation, have turned the city’s main arteries, especially Shahrah-e-Faisal, into danger zones.
Despite public outcry and media coverage, enforcement remains weak. Citizens are demanding strict government action and consistent road safety protocols to curb this life-threatening menace.
Time for Action
Authorities must take immediate steps to regulate tanker operations and ensure public safety. Until then, roads like Shahrah-e-Faisal remain a risk to everyday commuters in Karachi.
