A monitor, three CPUs, two mice and a keyboard were reported missing from the Dr. Shyam Prasad Mukherjee Library and e‑Library complex in Kolhar, Bhopal, before the facility could open.
Bhopal's Kolhar area witnessed a theft at the under‑construction Dr. Shyam Prasad Mukherjee Library and e‑Library complex. The incident occurred before the facility was scheduled to open to the public.
According to local reports, a single monitor, three desktop CPUs, two computer mice and one keyboard have been reported missing. The items were part of the initial hardware inventory intended for the e‑library's digital services.
Authorities have noted that the premises are equipped with CCTV cameras, and footage is expected to be reviewed to identify the perpetrators. The police have opened an investigation and are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward.
The loss has delayed the rollout of e‑library services, which were slated to provide digital access to students and residents of Bhopal. Officials say replacement of the stolen equipment will be pursued once the investigation yields leads.
