Anti-social acts in Nagaon on the rise; Administration on sleep
In the name of modernization and with the blessings of a section of fraudulent businessmen and their henchmen, there is a sharp rise in illicit trafficking of contraband ganja, locally made liquor, besides operation of dirt-game (
teer khel), open selling of pornographic CD's, gambling and other anti-social activities at various places of Nagaon.
During the investigation carried on by Assam Times correspondent, it is witnessed at certain places that these activities are creating an adverse affect on the populace, especially school or college-going students. It came to light during investigation that a few policemen are also involving in these activities. It is worth mentioning that with the involvement of these youngsters as prey, the lobby with the help of administration is reaping handsome profits thereby making the innocents to go astray.
Though there are a number of socio-political organisations in nagaon, they all seem to turn a deaf ear to the illicit business.
