Sir: In today’s era, people may lack the proper facilities of daily lives but cell phone are a must. On debts or monthly savings, the models are found with everybody around. Shockingly, the beggars are not away from the trend. Simultaneously, the theft of cell phones has become very common. The street criminals find it so easy to steal the phones with no worries or fear. The very target is Karachi which is always found in rush with visitors giving chances to the thieves for committing the crime. In this year 9,137 phones were stolen in Pakistan. The street criminals remain in ease while the victims are with shielding tears as the cost of such phones bear a huge amount. The government is requested to look upon the matter to save people from this threat. SHEHNAZ NOOR Turbat Published in Daily Times, August 17th 2017.
