Blasts in Ahmedabad

Do you think that the lack of tough anti-terror laws and weak intelligence machinery should be blamed for the serial blasts in Ahmedabad?

Jaksha Shah says: Before we blame Government or the law, we have to look into us। What we do to prevent this, nothing, though we are the soft targets for them. After repeated advertisement to watch people around you for doubtful behavior, they successfully plant bombs at more than 20 places in 2 cities. None of the citizen saw them. What politicians do ? They will blame each other and do not let police work properly. If few of them are arrested and beaten by the public, they may not do that again. Those who plant the bombs are more probably not armed. Though tough rules will help to minimize the frequency of blasts, it won't stop that.

Ruggedboyz says: In the century we live in bomblast, terrorism and fugitives are a global phenomenon. Also in a world of sensible people some insensitive physcho freaks co exists too, so its only on the government now to be paranoid for the life of its people, of the security and take not human life easily. for the one who dies maynt mean anything to the government mroe then a lil thousand or a lakh of compensation but he means a lot to his relative and friends for whom he was dear . Just that its high time we tighten things and not be part of another 3rd world country ala pakistan where terrorism easily thrives coz of all kinds of प्रेस्सुरेस

Busybee says: In this over populated country of ours, with cities so jam packed with humans, its difficult to fight crime of any kind, unless we increase the strength of our police force॥ and also for the intelligence depts।

Niceguy251 says:I agree with Jaksha that what we as public are doing? Should we not be alert if not for others then for our own sake? In today's time we do not even know our neighbours। I am not recommending being nosey but be aware of our surroundings. How many of us will tell the person who leaves a bag in public conveyance or on cycle " Bhai sahib, aap apna bag lejana bhool gaye". Our politician have to forget their petty differences and blaming each other to join hands to fight this menace. If they do not, we the public should vow not to vote for such selfish leaders who look for small gains at the cost of we the public. Interference with police or intelligence agencies has to stop. What is the need of any politician being escorted by a dozen black cat gun tottong commandos everywhere? If they perceive threat to themselves then what about poor common man?

Brahmanyan says:Ours is over populated Country। The cities are growing at geometric proportion with the influx of people from all parts of the Country. Blaming the Government is highly unfair. The Governments do not have identity of individuals except the permanent citizens. First we must have national Registry with identification cards for all. There should be stricter Laws to punish the culprits once caught like Pota. Only fear of punishment will deter the offenders. Police and intelligence forces should be trained to face the needs of new situations and be given full freedom to act. Our Media, both print and visual are highly irresponsible ones. They publicize the probes on day to day basis to gain viewer-ship and ratings. I am from Bangalore. At least three blasts took place around our locality last Friday. I should say that our Police and Government Agencies did exemplary job in keeping this over crowded City peaceful and directed the traffic in orderly way after the incidents.

The girl next door says:M not very sure of increasing the number of police forces will help. We are a vast and diversified country which lacks proper channels of communications. How would u explain the serial blasts across 2 cities and not even the intelligence agencies having a clue regarding them. Even if we increase the number of police personnels if we do not know where to seek information from and how to I doubt it would help us anywhere in keeping a step ahead of terrorism. Mechanisms such as social security numbers could go a long way in ensuring we have everyone accounted for. Govt likewise should rise about the parliament dramas and take steps to protect the common man and not just dhoti clad netas and celebs. As an individual we all should be alert of suspicious people and objects and not just shy away from raising an alarm , even if its a false one. Its very sad how even authorities at railways stations are so negligent about the safety of commuters.. most of the screening machines at major stations dont work and baring these few days of "high alert" one could not find too many police personnels around. All in all we are on our own.
