ID Proof and Terrorist Activities

From January 15, any citizen living in the National Capital can be asked by police to produce his or her identity proof, failing which could land the person in trouble. “The decision to verify the identity of citizens has been taken to step up security in the wake of recent terror attacks in various parts of the country. The checking would help prevent such incidents,” Lieutenant Governor Tejinder Khanna told reporters. Do you think that this move will be helpful in eliminating terrorist activities ?

Lp says: Every Indian should be issued with an all-purpose ID card.

Virtualscorpio says:Unfortunately, i do not see this helping in curbing terriorism. How difficult is it 2 get a fake ID card. Maybe all of Rs. 50/- A red light at a traffic signal means stop. How many do???? Rules r gud if followed, else u can keep adding them & corruption keeps going up.

Busybee says: wont work. If some people can get 4-5 passports, whats a piddly little ID card ??

Ruggedboyz says: While the step is one taken in order to stepup the security measures and bring in more security to the citizens it is at the cost of putting natives to atmost inconvience and burden of always having a card as a citizen in his own land, which is upon his office id, his driving licence, his credit debit cards and his other membership cards ala gym, discount cards et al but i have the feeling if it was a simple number given which could be memorised and produced and found in the database it would have been much easier than a citizen card above his passport and election id and co..

Lionking says: i think the Lt.Gov. of Delhi had to meet Delhi CM on this issue and this ID card was not made compulsory after that meeting ... as its a political hot potato ! it still holds is it ??? we still need ID on delhi roads is it ??? i am not sure ... but, the idea of a Citizen Identity Card for the people of India is a good idea ... but its also a logistical nightmare for the government !

Niceguy251 says: It will definitely help containing terrorism if we could have foolproof method of issueing ID cards which can not be tempered with or faked. It is a dream which may come true sometime.

GussaWaala says: Chalo now we are on the path to becoming a police state.
