    Police have done a good job.There are lot of thieves in Subramanya temple.A huge amount was stollen from my wife's purse, when we visited for sarpa sanskar.It was a General holiday ( Yugadi)and there were lot of people.There were absolutely no control over the crowd and hardly 2 security personnel and a policeman.It was a field day for pickpocketeers.They creat rush in some places like "Sankalpa" & tulabar and rob innocent people.They divert the attention and loot.It seems as if some workers of temple have hand in glove with these thieves.The admn can install CCTV to monitor but they don't do it.When we omplained,they just offered lip sympathy.So guys,pl do not carry more money and valuables inside the temple.

    Usually it is Marwadi baniyas who always Purchase such stolen articles and encourage theft & crime. So, such Mardwadis should also be caught and booked as accomplice in the theft and sent back to their state - Rajathan.
