Mumbai Police officials have started urging societies not to employ watchmen unless they are registered with a security agency or, if they are from Nepal, with the Nepali Pravasi Sangh. The move has been prompted by the difficulty in tracing watchmen who looted the houses they were guarding and then fled, many of them to Nepal.
