Who will prevent theft in Kamalnagar Hazirhat market?

Own Reporter: A gang of thieves has become reckless in Hajihat Bazar of Kamalnagar Upazila in Lakshmipur. Ten heinous thefts have occurred in the last 3 months. Even though security guards and CCTV cameras are installed in the market, thefts are not being prevented; traders are panicking. The local market management committee and traders have complained to the administration in this regard, but they are not getting any results. On Wednesday (December 20), three shops were robbed by cutting open the cans of the shops. The gang of thieves took away about 1.5 lakh taka from the traders. As such thefts are happening again and again, anger is spreading among the traders. It is learnt that the traders closed their shops and went home like every day. At some point in the night, a gang of organized thieves deliberately cut open the cans of the shops and entered the rice warehouses of Jihad Fashion, Wahab Bastra Bitan and Abdur Rab and stole money. Similarly, three months ago, thieves entered Ayesha Telecom on Mosque Road and took away cash and goods worth several lakhs of taka. Even after 3 months, the police have not been able to recover the stolen goods in that incident. In addition, thefts have occurred in several other shops and houses in the market. Traders said that despite the thefts happening one after another, the gang of thieves is not being stopped. Even after installing CCTV cameras, no results are coming. The police have not been able to arrest the gang of thieves, prevent thefts and recover the stolen goods. Kamalnagar Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Akul Chandra Biswas said that the police operation is continuing to arrest the stolen goods and the gang of thieves.
