Karachi (HRNW)- Jamaat-e-Islami has announced to hold protest sit-ins at 13 locations across the city today against the increasing number of deaths in heavy traffic accidents in the city, the e-challan system and the government\u2019s attitude.<\/p>\n
According to the announcement, the protest sit-ins will be held at 5 pm on important highways and central locations of the city. The aim of the sit-ins is to increase pressure on the government to improve the traffic system, eliminate illegal challans and ensure the safety of citizens.<\/p>\n
Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi Muneem Zafar Khan will address the central sit-in at Noorani Kabab House Chowrangi, Shahrah-e-Quaideen.

On the other hand, the Sindh Chief Minister\u2019s recent statement said that \u201cextortion will not be tolerated.\u201d The question from the civic circles is that if extortion is not tolerated, will encroachment and other crimes be tolerated?
