A wave of criticism has surfaced against alleged illegal gambling activities disguised as a boat race in the char region markets of Sadhur Bazar and Bandihana. These areas, under the jurisdiction of Fakirganj police station in Dhubri district and South Salmara police district, have become focal points of controversy, with allegations of police inaction amplifying the issue.
The controversy originated from a boat race competition reportedly organized with district administration approval. The event began last Friday and was slated to last three days, initially garnering significant attention. However, the spotlight soon fell on reported illegal gambling operations running under the guise of the race. Accusations of police inaction over the prevalent Jhandi Munda gambling in Sadhur Bazar have raised public ire.
Further criticism targets the officer-in-charge of Bandihana police station for purportedly neglecting the illicit activities happening near the station. Concerns have been voiced regarding the involvement of impoverished residents, including college and school students, in the gambling activities, highlighting potential social repercussions in the region.
Night-time gambling in Sadhur Bazar has intensified complaints, with reports indicating the involvement of substantial sums of money, possibly amounting to lakhs of rupees. The apparent silence from the authorities and their reluctance to curb these illicit activities have led to demands for stricter law enforcement and the cessation of this harmful practice. As the situation evolves, the community is closely monitoring how the responsible authorities will address these serious allegations.
The unfolding scenario has underscored the urgency for a decisive response from law enforcement to restore trust and order in the affected areas.
