Sir: In the last couple of years, street crime in Karachi has increased. Cell-phone snatching has become as common as flu. I am pretty sure almost everyone in the city of Karachi has been mugged once in their lives. According to reports, at least 200 to 400 phones are stolen everyday only in Gulshan-i-Iqbal, Shara-e-Faisal, Nazimabad and DHA. To avoid stolen and snatching, our elders are always adviced us to keep our cell-phone in some hidden pockets of the hand bag. I hope the authorities concerned will take some solid steps to stop this.ANUSHA MANSOOR Karachi
