Under the direction of MC Commissioner Sandeep Rishi, the maintenance cell of the civic body has requested the station house officer of Division Number 4 police station to register an FIR against unidentified miscreants for allegedly stealing manhole covers from Hindi Bazar and Rai Bahadur Road (old city areas) during the night between Wednesday and Thursday.
The incident was captured by one of the CCTV cameras in the area. The footage shows three individuals arriving in an auto-rickshaw and taking the cover.
The police have also been urged to increase night patrols. To prevent accidents, the civic body promptly installed new manhole covers at the site as soon as the theft was discovered.
