What is more disconcerting is that in most of the cases, robbers have been able to give a slip to the police after executing the crimes before fleeing to various neighbouring states.

Under the Smart City Project, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras have been earmarked for installation at sensitive and strategic locations across the city.

Gunfire, robbery, snatching and other crimes, that too even in broad day-light, seems to have become a regular affair in the Steel city of Rourkela. 

The escalating crime rate in the industrial town has now raised eyebrows on the deteriorating law and order situation with many questioning if the administration has miserably failed to maintain peace in the city.
