On the night of December 9 and 10, around 10 thieves entered DJB's Janakpuri Office by breaking the window and tried to cut open the cash chest to loot the cash placed there. However, they could not break or cut open the chest, a DJB spokesperson said.

DJB has asked the Delhi Police to deploy additional patrolling at key installations of DJB and ZRO Offices.
