Of the 3,000 CVMs installed six months ago, 400 have been stolen or vandalised by people for fun or their personal profit.
“As many as 105 machines of the 400 non-functional machines were stolen and the rest were vandalised. We have lodged FIRs against the miscreants,” said Nainakwal.
“The new machine is big and we will employ a person to take care of it. This will help curb the thefts too,” he said.
