Af­ter falling vic­tim to crim­i­nals six times in just five years, a frus­trat­ed Bar­rack­pore farmer is call­ing on au­thor­i­ties to re­store reg­u­lar po­lice pa­trols in the farm­ing com­mu­ni­ty and to fast-track the ap­proval process for Firearm User’s Li­cences (FULs).

Still vis­i­bly shak­en at his home yes­ter­day, 64-year-old Ramesh Harnar­ine said that on Tues­day, he re­turned home to find his house ran­sacked and his pel­let gun and wack­er miss­ing.
