FE REPORT

Joint Commissioner (Admin and DB-South) Md Mahbub Alam came up with the suggestion at a press briefing held at its media centre in the capital on Saturday.
He said the incidents of snatching digital devices like mobile sets had been occurring in the city.
Snatchers mostly drug addicted juveniles are involved in snatching mobile sets and jewellery from the streets, he added.
