Attack on Rumdamol panch member’s vehicle

I wish to condemn the recent cowardly attack on the vehicle of the ex-Sarpanch and current Panch of Rumdamol Panchayat. It is indeed a very sad state of affairs in our calm and tolerant State. The Law and order situation continues to deteriorate by the day.

If it indeed was, then the culprit should be nabbed at the earliest by our law enforcement to stem such acts in the bud. At the same time the State Administration should reprimand elected representatives to make irresponsible comments such as the Panch members.

It now needs to be investigated by our administration to ensure that there is no law and order situation arising from this incident. May the truth - in line with law and order prevail.
