On July 19, a lorry had been fixed through Jayalaxmi Transport Booking Office, Boloor here. As many as 291 bags of areca nut had been loaded in the truck and sent to South India Transport branch office at Rajkot, Gujarat.

    I think there is a competition started between Gujarath and Uttar Pradesh regarding crime cases. Both are model states.

    These thieves will be caught !! but what about our neighbors stealing dropped areca nuts early morning from our backyard ? These problems don't go to police. just foul mouth abuses everyday and then forget. I am sure every village has someone nasty or drunkard petty thief of these kind.
