The DGP said that these guidelines have been issued to ensure that farmers do not face any problems in filing FIRs for the theft of distribution transformers.
He said it has come to the notice of the police department that often, farmers are asked to report the theft of transformers to the electricity department officials, which is neither logical nor fair.

This was disclosed by Director General of Haryana Health Services Dr Sonia Trikha Khullar in a meeting held with the officials of the Muscular Dystrophy Victims Family Association at Panchkula today.
