Conmen on the prowl, where is the SHO?

For the last many months, a gang of thieves has been active in the Drosh town and its adjoining areas. Despite complaints lodged with the police station of Drsoh, and also pointation of the thieves, the police have done nothing and instead adopted the policy of a silent spectator. With the posting of Zafar Ahmed as the new sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) Drosh, the area residents had expressed the hope that they would get rid of the thieves. But the incidents of theft of valuables from shops and houses have not been controlled though the police have expedited their efforts to bust the gang and the residents are hopeful that the police would succeed in eliminating such crime.  It is heard that young men coming from urban areas have become active members of the gang and are depriving residents of their valuables. The residents of Drosh have appealed to the high-ups of the police to take action against the gang as it was not difficult to trace them in a small town like Drosh.   Abbas Hussain, Member National Youth Assembly Drosh, Chitral]]>
