Laudium residents demand police oust drug dealers near station and nursery

Residents of Laudium marched to the police station to demand the removal of drug dealers operating near a police station and a nursery. The community, led by DA ward 61 candidate Anil Paladh, accused the police of failing to enforce the law and called for an end to crime in the area. Manichean Mooloo, a longtime resident, expressed growing fear and uncertainty about living in Laudium, stating that life in the township had become a "state of panic."

He lamented that once a desirable place to live, Laudium had become a place where residents worry about the safety of their cars and the streets outside their homes.
