Wah Cantt - No lull is witnessed in miseries of residents and traders living in the garrison city of Wah Cantonment as the police in deep slumber while dacoits and robbers are on rampage in the area. Residents attributed the sorry-state-of-affairs due to prolong and political-based postings in the police department. Virtually, the garrison city comprising two police stations, including city and Saddar, has become a safe haven for gangsters and robbers, who are striking brazenly and with impunity in every nook and corner of the town. Armed robberies have become order of the day which is evident from the fact that dacoits strike daily in various parts of the city, depriving masses of cash, gold ornaments and other valuables while the police seem in deep slumber.
The Lalarukh, a commercial and domestic area, has become an easy target due to one of the influential cop deployed there as he failed to control robbery and dacoity incidents despite his over two-year deployment at the area.
