Savusavu Town Council Special Administrators Chair, Shiu Shankar Singh has expressed his concern on the lack of action by police on loitering drunkards.

He says they have called for visibility of police as people would consume alcohol in a group and cause disturbance to residents at any time of the day and night.

Singh says a few residents have also been a victim of ignorance by police, as their mobile and phone numbers would be blocked from filing a complaint or report.
