Tangi: Hundreds of locals in Birol village under Tangi police limits in Cuttack district took to streets today demanding arrest of the main accused involved in stealing the Generator (DG) of a BSNL tower located in the area. Police seized the DG on Friday with the help of a village youth association and arrested one person.
The arrested person has been identified as Rabindra Pradhan of Sanyasi village under Jagatpur police limits.
As per the report, some unidentified persons removed the DG of the BSNL tower located in Birol six to seven months ago and transported it out by a Bolero pick-up van impersonating as telecom staff. However, at a later stage it came to notice that the DG had been stolen.
Following the theft report, Janakalyana Jubaka Sangha, a village based youth association took the initiative and traced the DG which was being provided to separate parties on rent in a neighbouring village by the culprits. A team of Tangi police seized the DG with the help of the youth association members conducting a raid in Gopinathpur village yesterday.
Villagers have questioned the integrity of the police, BSNL officials and the district administration in the incident and warned them of intensifying the stir in coming days if the culprits are not caught in the case.
