According to the press statement issued here today, Prof Gupta said that a very disturbing situation was created when a large numbers of miscreants were allowed to indulge in free for all for hours together. Prof Gupta regretted the much pronounced special investigating seems nowhere, not to say of recovering the looted property and book the culprits. "There are reports that some of the looted guns have been recovered but from whom and where are the remaining ones, the whole matter still remains a mystery, he stated. Prof Gupta also observed that on one hand the destitute traders are being asked to resume their business, on the other hand not even preliminary relief has been provided them, so much so no committee has been appointed to assess the actual losses.
