Dear Sir,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On account NO ACCOUNTABILITY for BEAT CONSTABLES, DIVISION Officer etc resulting ZERO Progress on curbing the chain snatching.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Just now at Sector 22 Junction in front of Green Valley CGHS, Manish Mall, Mount Carmel School. An elderly lady chain snatched at around 8 AM while she is regular to market for Vegetable to Manish Mall Market. In the past also a number of such chain snatching reported from SAME SITE and on Record. The victim is mother-in-law of Mr. N Ramakrishnan, President of Chitrakoot Apartment, Sector 22 and Dwarka Forum active member.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The location is just a meter away from Police Check Pick Pocket set up at times. There was used to QRT Amabassdar earlier at these places, now a days one could hardly seen them.<\/div>\n
A large number of Thelah and Small time Cigarette\/Pan Sellers to others have setup in the public usage pedestrian paths. These small setup becomes BREEDING Ground for Anti Social Elements such as Chain Snatchers to keep monitoring about probable victims and plan their action. We have been raising these issue. However on ground the staffs on beat and patrol seems have closed their eyes.<\/div>\n
This is the case elsewhere in Dwarka other sectors. The public at large fear to step out and if one step out for basic needs are becoming target.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are deeply concerned with these casual attitude of Patrolling and Beat Policing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We would urge you to FIX responsibility to BEAT CONSTABLES and PATROLLING TEAM to curb chain snatching.
\nLook forward hearing from you in this matter. We would also request the DCP\/ACP\/SHO to have meeting may be on next Sunday ie. 22 May 2011 at Sector 22 to discuss with other RWA members to take stock and reinstalling security.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanking you,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
