Rising street crimes

It is highly regretted that purse and mobile snatching incidents are on the rise. This is highway robbery that occurs in the streets and busy business areas. These are not paltry theft but the victims lose valuables worth hundreds of thousands of rupees. Such an incident has recently happened to a lady MPA as well.

This is the second time that she has been robbed by thieves in this manner. She is a courageous and daring lady but these violent incidents are nerve wrecking.

Police takes no action against these thieves and it has become a widespread menace for the citizens. Security guards must be deployed outside shopping areas and dark alleys to avoid such incidents. It is quite unusual to go through this kind of experience twice. One needs to be more careful in the future.

It is okay to lose one’s valuables to avoid risk to one’s life. No one’s life and property is safe these days. Police authorities needs to be more alert in safeguarding citizen’s life liberty and pursuit of happiness.
