Jhabua : Goods worth lakhs are lying abandoned and without security at the Ratanpura unit of Bharat Sanchar Nigam. The thieves always eye these goods viciously.
As per the information received, the thieves have attempted many times to steal the goods, during the last week. However, the attempts proved to be unsuccessful. It may be noted that the ignorant attitude of the concerned officers has led to such a situation. Recently, the goons had cracked the lock of the storeroom of the unit. Nevertheless, one of the workers noticed the thieves. However, the workers did not care to file a complaint with the police and the thieves were again set free. The story does not end here. The thieves tried to break in, the next day. However, they again managed to flee. When media tried to contact the police regarding the issue, it was observed that the police was not aware of these activities.
As mentioned in the information provided, a security guard has been allotted for the security of the unit. The security guard has to be present at the main gate of the unit from 8 in the morning to 10 pm. However, the security guard is always absent which makes breaking in the unit easier. The goods that have been kept at the unit include OFC cable wires, worth lakhs, generators, air-conditioners, copper wires, etc.
The security guards, who are to provide their services, are paid with a handsome salary. Yet they are nowhere to be found. They have become quite fearless as they are placed in the unit since long. If this callous attitude prevails, the department may face a huge loss. It may be noted that the unit has faced thefts earlier, due to the same ignorance. The recent theft attempt should be taken as a warning.
