Sambalpur: Despite tight security at Vimsar, thefts continue to rise due to lapses in duty. While many security guards remain posted at the parking area and main road, there is reportedly no security arrangement in the TB ward. As a result, miscreants are freely roaming in that area.

Recently, a mobile phone belonging to a patient helper was stolen from the TB ward. A complaint regarding the incident has been filed at the Burla police station.
According to the report, a helpless woman from Jharsuguda was brought to Vimsar for treatment by the organisation Mission Aashra. She was admitted to the TB ward on Tuesday. Two Mission Aashra staff members, Pratima Bhoi and a colleague, were attending to her.
