Missing youth: Residents block traffic

Dehradun, June 25

Residents of Tapovan and Raipur held a protest at the Sahashtradhara crossing here yesterday. They said the police should take tangible steps to trace a missing youth.

The residents blocked traffic at the Shashtardhara crossing to pressure the police. Mohammad Amir (22), a resident of Tapovan, went missing on June 22.

Amir had last called his friend Ankur and informed him that someone had stabbed him in front of Gandhi Park. However, the residents called off the agitation after SP (City) Ajay Singh assured them of tracing the youth.
