MALDA, Aug. 12: In order to curb highhandedness of eve teasers and antisocial elements the district magistrate in Malda has asked the police to step up vigilance in collectorate premises and adjoining areas since evening every day.A case of molestation in front of his office propelled the district magistrate Mr. C R Das himself to take such a decision last night. Around 9 p.m, when there was a power cut, a scuffle took place. Mr. C R Das, was leaving office with the ADM and other district officials, they saw a man attacking another on charges of molesting his wife. The security personnel intervened and the situation was brought under control. The district magistrate then informed the police and the accused was handed over to them. Mr. Das instructed the police officials to ‘sterilise’ the zone of collectorate premises and adjoining areas to maintain law and order so that eve teasers and anti social elements cannot take advantage of the situation.Many girls and boys return home after playing so the area had to be made safe. Based on the input of several crimes committed at night including flesh trade in the adjoining areas of Children Park, some pocket areas between the ADM, SP and SDO bungalows close to the district library, museum and Brindaboni play ground police intensified forces last night. Since few weeks the district administrative officials had noticed that after evening eve teasers along with their bikes frequently visited the collectorate premises.This intensified especially during weekends when many many teenage bikers assemble in the presence of families. The top police officials of the English Bazaar police station assured the district magistrate at the spot last night that they would step up vigilance to curb such crimes to maintain law and order.
