Accountability of Chowkidars: The supervision of local night guards (Chowkidars) should be increased, and they should be given strict instructions to remain vigilant.
Intensive Raids: The police should launch a special campaign to apprehend suspicious individuals.
Administrative Assurance
The Shivnarayanpur police have assured the villagers that the criminals will be apprehended soon. The police administration has also indicated that additional police force may be deployed to maintain peace in the village.

For now, the villagers remain fearful, hoping that the administration will provide a guarantee of security as soon as possible.
