It is mentioned in the memorandum that now malpractices like, extracting money from vehicle owners by putting a rope across the road, throwing balloons full of dirty water on the vehicles, cutting trees belonging to others, creating law and order situation by teasing girls etc. are on the rampant. They are against Dharma.
