Ludhiana civic body records stolen from Lakkar Bridge office

Records from the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation (MC) were stolen from an old record room near the closed night shelter at Lakkar Bridge.

The stolen records include vouchers, bills, and official documents from the MC’s accounts branch related to various civic works and departments.

The theft was discovered during a routine verification exercise when officials could not locate important files in the record room.

Record keeper Kamaljit reported that the original lock on the room had been replaced with a different lock, and a CCTV camera inside the record room was also stolen.

An FIR has been registered against unidentified accused, and police are investigating the suspicious theft, including questioning staff and examining access to the room.
