They have sought the replacement of faulty power cables at the earliest. ‘Indecent’ conduct of cops flayed:
Residents of Pachananpur village near Dineshpur in Udham Singh Nagar have protested against the alleged indecent conduct of some police personnel with women from a family who had lodged a complaint against some people for having allegedly abducting and selling a girl from their family. The matter came to light four days ago as some police personnel had gone to the complainant family’s house and allegedly behaved indecently with women of the family. The villagers took out a protest march against the police on Sunday and also gheraoed the local police station. The matter was resolved only when senior officials expressed regret over the incident and gave an assurance to them to arrest the accused in the case at the earliest.
