Executive Summary

Your field staff face extreme daily risks from surging street crime and localized political violence. Thieves stole over 4800 vehicles and phones across Karachi last month while rival politicians physically fought inside the City Council. This intense polarization and rampant theft directly threaten personnel commuting through the city. Mandate strict movement windows for your teams and avoid all political gatherings immediately.
