Scooty stolen from Shillongpatty parking lot in broad daylight

January 4: Fear of law seems to have evaded from the mind of the anti-socials of Silchar. An incident of two-wheeler theft again took place in the heart of the town. A scooty was stolen from the Municipal parking lot at Shyamaprasad Road (Shillongpatty), Silchar on Thursday.  The incident took place at 1 in the afternoon. A CCTV footage of the theft was recovered in which a boy could be seen who has stolen the scooty. The owner of the scooty Pranab Paul has lodged a FIR in this regard. Just watch the CCTV footage…

This incident has given rise to many questions. Concerned citizens have expressed the view that people park their vehicles alongside the road at Shillongpatty earmarked as ‘parking lot’ by Silchar Municipality for which parking fee is charged. However, if even after paying parking fees, if one’s vehicle is not taken care of, than what’s the use of paying money for parking. Many have expressed the view that this is another instance of failure of the security mechanism of the district for which such crimes are happening.

A few days ago, a girl was founding hanging in a mysterious position almost in the same area. People of the locality have urged upon the administration to be more active and vigilant in the near future so that the citizens can leave in peace.
