Security beefed up in Jhapa
Post Report
BHADRAPUR, April 20- The newly transferred
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) at the Regional Police Unit Office at Jhapa, Ramesh
Shrestha, has informed that various initiative measures have been taken in four districts
of the Mechi zone, particularly in Jhapa, to strengthen the security apparatus in view of
the deteriorating law and order situation.
The police chief of the Mechi zone made these
remarks in a meeting with various political leaders, representatives of commercial
organisations, transport entrepreneurs, intellectuals, local representatives and
journalists at Bhadrapur, Thursday evening.
The interaction held relevance in the context
of serious security concerns in Jhapa, particularly after the plunder of about Rs 9
million from the Ghailadubba branch of the Rashtriya Banijya Bank and the seizure of
revolvers from the security guards at another bank in Sanischare by Maoist insurgents.
SSP Shrestha also sought co-operation of all
concerned to ensure safety and security, during the occasion. Meanwhile, the Ghailadubba
branch of RBB has been transferred to Chandragadhi due to security reasons.
