‘Sticker campaign’ promoting crime reporting in Karnali

Under the campaign, stickers with police phone numbers are pasted on houses in the province. Criminal complaints have increased markedly, say police.

Mohan Shahi, a 28-year-old man from Jumla, was arrested by police from Baraiche in Panchapuri Municipality, Surkhet, on August 27 on charges of dealing with drugs. Locals in Baraiche had earlier informed the police after suspecting Shahi’s involvement in selling and possessing drugs.
