lamabad: The continuous acts of terrorism in various parts of the country have badly hampered the business activities in the country. The government should fulfill its responsibilities to save the lives and properties of its citizen. Unfortunately, no concrete step is being witnessed in regard, which is a matter of grave concern. The members and office bearers of Pakistan Computer Association (PCA) said this during an especially convened meeting here on last day.

Yousaf Jamal, Senior Vice President of PCA Central informed the participants about the latest statistics that show that there was a 50 % decline in business after the recent spree of terror in the country. He said that computer industry, which was already confronting with a fragile business environment, was now struggling for its very existence. 

The Senior Vice President of PCA said that Pakistan has already lost sufficient chunk of foreign/ domestic investment and business activities due to rising phenomenon of terrorism and bomb blasts forcing many investors and businessmen to look for safe destination for investment. He said that the agonizing incidents will act as a demoralizing factor for prospective investors who will desist from considering Pakistan for investment ventures. 

Yousaf Jamal called upon the government to take all possible measures and equip security apparatus with better technology, equipment and tools to forestall such incidents effectively and control the law and order situation so that normal business activities in the country may be revived. Ends
