A couple of days after two leading chemists received ransom calls from gangsters, the Punjab Trade Commission Vice-Chairman, Gurpreet Singh Dhamoli, held a meeting with the traders of the cloth market at Rajpura town on Sunday to discuss security and civic issues.
The meeting was also attended by Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Manjit Singh and Station House Officer (SHO) Gursewak Singh, who listened to the concerns raised by shopkeepers.
The traders demanded an increase in night patrolling by PCR teams and the installation of CCTV cameras in the market.
The DSP directed the PCR in-charge to increase night patrolling in the area. Dhamoli assured traders that the installation of CCTV cameras and other pending works would be taken up and completed at the earliest.
