Crime in Bwalinde Ward in Lupososhi District of Northern Province is on the rise with residents attributing it to a lack of a police post in the area.
Bwalide ward which has a population of over 26, 000 residents has the nearest police in Luwingu, located more than 60 kilometers away.
Meanwhile, area Councilor Tyson Mwengwe says the community has proposed the construction of a post as one of the priority projects under the 2022 Constituency Development Funds CDF.
