heartfelt appreciation and congratulations to the Sindh Police, particularly the Sukkur
Range Police and Sindh Rangers, for their outstanding bravery, professionalism and
dedication in neutralizing a highly dangerous criminal gang through a successful joint
operation during the last week.

Mr. Atif Ikram Sheikh stated that the business community of Pakistan wholeheartedly
applauds the Sindh Police and Sindh Rangers for this courageous and decisive action
that has eliminated a major threat to peace and security in the province. Such
operations reflect the unwavering commitment of our law enforcement agencies to
protect citizens and businesses, often at great personal risk.

Mr. Atif Ikram Sheikh maintained that FPCCI is proud of sacrifices and resolute efforts of
police and rangers; which have played a pivotal role in significantly reducing the crime
rate across Sindh and creating a safer environment for business, commercial, industrial,
trade and economic activities.

Mr. Abdul Mohamin Khan, VP & Regional Chairman Sindh, FPCCI, added that the
tireless work of the Sindh Police, especially in the Sukkur region, has brought
remarkable improvement in law and order. Their sacrifices and proactive operations
have not only dismantled criminal networks; but, have also contributed substantially to
lowering the overall crime rate in the province. The business community in Sindh stands
firmly with our brave police force and assures full support in their mission to maintain
peace and security.

Mr. Abdul Mohamin Khan particularly paid tribute to the exemplary leadership of Home
Minister Sindh; Inspector General of Police Sindh; Sindh Rangers, DIG Sukkur and SSP
Sukkur for their strategic guidance and relentless pursuit of peace. The gang eliminated
in the strategic and professionally-carried operation was involved in numerous heinous
crimes against humanity and peace of the province; including, terrorist activities, deadly
attacks on the innocent civilians, police encounters, extortion cases, brutal robberies
and major dacoities, he added.
