Kathmandu, Jan. 21 : Nepal Chamber of Commerce has urged His Majesty’s Government to guarantee peace and security, and take action against perpetrators of violence so as to help the country’s industrial and trade sector flourish.

In a press release issued here today, the chamber has expressed concern over growing attacks on industries and business houses, looting and robbery, which have made the industrialists and businessmen feel insecure.

Such a situation is inimical to investment promotion, the country’s economic development and tourism promotion, it said.

The recent incidents of a gang of armed persons raiding the Jyoti Spinning Mill in Birgunj and looting about one million rupees by terrorizing the employees and looting of the cash box from the shop of Radheshyam Gupta at Gallamandi in Siddharthanagar have generated serious concern among the business communities, the chamber said.

It has condemned the incidents and demanded that the government provide free treatment to those injured in those incidents.
