Industries thrive only in areas where there is law and order

Chamber of Commerce President Himanshu Bodawala said, the development of any city depends on its industrial peace. Industries thrive only in those areas where law and order issues are minimal. Industrial peace is at its peak in Surat but it is because of police control over crime. So how can economic crime be controlled and what should the businessmen associated with the industry do? We will try to move forward in this direction on how to make Surat more safe and secure by getting information from its police department.
