A festival of terror attacks

India has witnessed horrifying bomb blasts recently, and with Navratri beginning tomorrow, anti-social elements may decide to spread more havoc by targeting dandiya venues.

There seems to be no accountability on the security in our country. No one feels safe here anymore.

Losers

The ultimate loser is the tax-paying common man. It is a shame that only politicians, big industrialists, cricketers and other celebrities have the choice to carry personal weapons along with their officially provided A-to-Z security covers.

On the other hand, the citizens are exposed to threats and terror attacks.

It is extremely sad to see the government only announcing compensations to victims' families. Instead of taking quicker, stronger actions and enacting stringent laws for the safety of its citizens, our ministers are busy with their emergency meetings that has zero impact on the ongoing terror menace.
