Heartless Drain Cover Thieves


I am sure many people in this country especially in the new housing areas and townships have experienced or noticed what I had noticed. The incident was not so rampant a few years ago but now it has become one of the major problems faced by Local Authorities and people occupying the premises.
The issue is : Missing GI or Cast Iron Manhole or Drain Covers ...


More and more manhole and drain covers went missing as the price of steel/iron had risen for the past few months. Those ruthless and heartless thieves do not even bother about the safety of people who occupy the buildings in the area by removing the safety cover provided for by the contractors/developers. Without the cover, any vehicle or human being could just fall into the drain or manholes which depth may vary from 600mm to a few meters..


These thieves are not worth to live in this country ..
These thieves are not worth to be called humans ..
They live on the sufferings of others ..
They are just plain lazy and just want easy money ...

So,
We hope that when these heartless thieves are caught, they should be punished by sending them to the iron smiths and replace all the missing steel/iron covers which were missing from the areaa..
More surveillance must be carried out and secured method must be emplyed to make stealing of these covers almost impossible ..
Finally...
Just be careful when you walk along the rows of offices or trying to park your car along the roadside drains... there may be a manhole waiting to swallow you or your vehicle's tyre if you are not careful ...
Take Care and Be Extra Careful ...
