Organised crime will be curbed in a month: Police

KATHMANDU, NOV 07 - Police have stated that they have taken all the necessary steps to up security in the Kathmandu Valley, and claim that it will be rid of all its gangsters within a month.

After launching a month-long campaign to combat the increasing rates of organised crime, police officers at the Metropolitan Police Crime Division (MPCD) claim that gangsters will no longer spread terror in the Valley.

The MPCD claims that it has identified most of the active criminals in the Valley and put them under surveillence. The MPCD record shows that there are over 200 gangsters and that most of them are active.

According to the Superintendent of Police, Jaya Bahadur Chand, the police launched the campaign in view of the recent spurt of organised crime in the Valley. The police have it that many of the gangsters they have in their custody, such as Chakre Milan, Deepak Manage, Kumar Ghainte, Ganesh Lama, are in league with bigger criminals and ring-leaders. To effectively launch the campaign, the MPCD has set up a separate special anti-gansters’ cell, which includes 15 police personnel under the command of the SP to monitor their activities. Police personnel are to keep vigil at places such as sand mines, tender bid locations, night time establishments, and casinos where gangsters are usually found and carry out sudden raids in these areas.

“Organised crime has recently started showing a strong presence in the Valley again,” said a police officer at the MPCD. This is not the first such statement by the police. Only a few months ago, the police had claimed that organised crime in the valley was fully under their control and that most of the criminals, safely behind bars.

Lets hope it happen as it says and become a peaceful and secure country... Jai Nepal...
