It is also noteworthy that the local people complain that the police have not done anything about the investigation of this theft.
Firemen Tarun Dutta, Anwar Hossain, Ratan Kumar Sinha, Bikash Roy and Jagar Sinha were on duty in the office on the night of 14th.

How the tree of great value was stolen from the government place. Especially where there were staff on duty. Locals have demanded a proper investigation of the incident and sought the intervention of the Minister of Fire service Department and the Chief Minister.
