Yet another blast, is the Centre sleeping?
By: Elias Patel

India: 

Glaring issue: An injured blast victim is rushed for treatment to a hospital in Agartala on Wednesday. At least 35 people were injured in the serial bomb blasts at five different places.

This seems to be the terrorists' favourite game and all we can do is wait and watch. I don't even remember the number of blasts that took place in the last few months.

Our politicians do nothing except for condemning the acts of terror and making speeches.

Is there no way we can put an end to this serial blasts concept? Does the number of people killed in the blasts make no difference to the government?

 With each festival we celebrate, there is a bomb scare. Imagine the situation of the innocent people who were killed in the stampede at the Chamunda Devi temple. The bombs scare  created chaos among the devotees, killing 224 people.

I wonder if the authorities are really doing anything about it. What are the intelligence agencies doing? Why can't we find out about a blast or any terror attack before it takes place?
