Cases of theft and murder have been on the rise in the area due to the inactive police station in the town. The recent death case recorded increasing the death toll to four has put fears into the community members as they are scared they would fall victim to what has happened.
The Assemblyman for the district has put before the high authorities to come to their aid and to help make the police station function effectively in order to ensure the safety of his people.
“If we can revive the watchdog committee that will be helpful because where we are now, we are all worried. The situation is very appalling and I pray authorities come to our aid,”
67-year-old Victoria Abareman said.
“It appears our security can’t be guaranteed. The community has built a police station in this town but personnel is yet to be deployed to man it, and so as you can see it has been taken over by weeds and reptiles. We pray that one day this project will serve its purpose,”
the Assemblyman said
Police of Suntreso District has taken up the case to ensure the bandits involved in this violent and cruel act, would be apprehended to face the court. Hence requesting members of the community to assist them in their investigations for justice and peace to prevail.
