Big crimes are born from petty crimes. Demand for elimination of illegal structures from sidewalks and collection of fines

No crime in society suddenly becomes big. Small irregularities, negligence and violation of law gradually give rise to big crimes. The small crime that we ignore today, tomorrow that crime can take a terrible form for the society. Therefore, it is important to take strict and effective measures to curb crime from the beginning.
Especially the illegal structures built by occupying the sidewalks of cities and municipal areas are not only causing public suffering, but these places are becoming safe havens for various crimes. Illegal shops, mobile structures and encroachments are obstructing the movement of pedestrians, creating traffic jams, increasing crimes like robbery, drug dealing and extortion.
In order to overcome this situation, regular operations should be conducted to remove illegal structures from footpaths and government land. At the same time, exemplary fines should be ensured against those who are illegally constructing structures in violation of the law. Not just eviction—the financial and social cost of crime must be paid by the criminal to establish the rule of law.
History teaches us that crime runs rampant when the rule of law is weak. The eminent statesman Sir Nawab Salimullah also emphasized on order and justice in governance. According to his teachings, states and societies survive on the basis of rules, morality and justice—not through negligence and compromise.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the emergence of major crimes if minor crimes are not neglected and suppressed in the beginning. De-encroachment of footpaths, eviction of illegal structures and collection of appropriate fines—these three measures can only be implemented together to build a safe, orderly and livable society.Now is the time—to strike at the root of crime.
