Earlier, dozens of shops were looted in Sopore since last fifteen days while as police and district administration is still clueless over such incidents.
The police and district administration are least bothered over these rising burglary incidents in town, said Haji Muhammad Ashraf Ganaie, former trade president of the town.
He threatened to intensify protests in case the burglars are not arrested.
Meanwhile, scores of shopkeepers assembled there and held a protest against the district administration and the police, accusing them of failing to stop such incidents in the town.
However, police said that the cases in this regard stand registered while as a manhunt has been launched to nab the robbers.
