Amid increasing jewellery theft incidents in Uttar Pradesh’s Jhansi, the jewellers in the Sipri Bazaar area have cumulatively taken an initiative to control the situation. They have pasted posters inside their shops stating that they will not allow people with covered faces in the shop.

Uday Soni, President, Sarafa Sipri Bazaar spoke to ANI and said, “Lately, we have launched a campaign. We have made a special request to all those who come to our shops to keep their faces uncovered while shopping. Since the prices of gold and silver have increased, the number of unruly elements has also increased rapidly. The government and administration have also advised us to install cameras in our shops. Everyone supported us.”
