Twin burglaries and a series of chain-snatching incidents have terrorised Central Railway (CR) employees staying in Guru Tegh Bahadur (GTB) Nagar railway colony. Incidentally, both the burglaries took place on November 25, when the residents – a senior railway clerk and a commercial supervisor – were away for a vacation with their families. While cops have booked unknown people for theft and trespassing, colony residents allege that the lack of adequate security provisions in the area, including a proper gate barricading the society, is to blame.
