As a developing country, we need to create a congenial atmosphere for the growth of trade and commerce. Recently, a number of armed gangs of extortionists have started to threaten the industrialists and business personalities. Business entrepreneurs are receiving phone calls from those criminals with demands for huge sums of money, even from outside the country. People involved in real estate business have also been targeted by them. The godfathers are always staying behind the curtains. All the business people and industrialists have expressed their anxiety as they cannot carry on their business at the cost of their lives. Those criminals must be traced down and stopped.
