A shocking series of thefts in Joynagar under Belonia has triggered widespread anger among local residents, as burglars targeted seven houses in a single night, including the residence of the village panchayat head.

According to local sources, the thieves broke into multiple homes and stole essential household items, primarily LPG gas cylinders. In a particularly alarming incident, even the house of the panchayat head was not spared, with miscreants reportedly taking away a rubber seat from the premises.

The incident, which occurred last night, has created panic across the entire locality. Residents allege that a group of drug-addicted youths from the area may be involved in the crimes. They claim that such incidents are not new, as similar thefts had taken place in nearby areas earlier as well.

Expressing strong resentment, the people of Joynagar have demanded immediate and strict intervention from the administration. Locals are urging law enforcement agencies to take firm action against those involved and to increase surveillance in the area to prevent further such incidents.

The repeated occurrences of theft have raised serious concerns about law and order in the region, prompting calls for urgent measures to ensure the safety and security of residents.
