Locks of the shops dealing in shoes and general goods were today found broken and the miscreants took away cash and valuables. Angry traders held a protest against the local police alleging failure in checking such incidents.

In another incident, three miscreants targeted a bank manager’s house in Anand Nagari here. According to the information, Vijay Taneja, posted as a bank manager in Jhumianwali village, had gone to Chandigarh with his family on Wednesday.
