    Recently, that is since a couple of months, many culprits who were enjoying free illegal trade, criminal activity and some more have been apprehended and charged.
    Police are back on track since two three months and doing what they were not doing in earlier years.
    It is heartening to note all these developments which will reduce crimes slowly and steadily,
    It is not so easy also for the lawmakers as they were and may be still influenced by those earlier politicians not to discharge their duties normally.
    Good development. Good work by the lawmakers.

    This is good news. Police also should book all people who buy the gas from this thug as well. May be they will not have enough space to keep the all the 'innocent' mangaloreans.

    Looks like gas is filled in smaller (empty) cylinders.

    Whatever the case, it is hazardous and unaccounted cylinders may be used in terrorist activities.

    Police should catch the original culprit (source of supply)

    Looks like SC/ST colony. Hats off to the raiding team in tracing all the illegal activities and stopping them. This is the only way how we can have a clean Mangalore.

    It looks asbthough gas is filled in empty cylinders. Dangerous to keep so many unaccounted gas cylinders in the house. Possibilities of accidental explosion or also chances for use in terrorist activities.

    Police should find out original source of encourging this type of racket.
