7/9 Delhi High Court Blast!

Delhi high court blast is the same story of administrative callousness.This time ,of course, security lapses are unpardonable and unbelievable too.It was only on May 25 this year Delhi high court experienced a blast at one of its entrances.It was a stroke of good luck that the blast was of low intensity.It was an abortive attempt on the part of the terrorists to engineer a high intensity blast.But nevertheless no security measures were adopted since then though it was planned to do so.Administrative bungling reportedly stood in the way of installation of even CC TVs at the court premises, a minimum requirement for security measure.That apart, metal detectors too were non functional.It's alleged there was a broad based intelligence report of possible terrorists' attack at Delhi and there was no specific information.Now the blame game would start as usual and enquiry would be initiated with a slim chance of tracking down the miscreants.Even if the culprits are apprehended, would we get back the lives of the victims?Imagine how many families would be ruined.Delhi people still complain even in the wake of such a tragedy administration is yet to react properly.A sense of insecurity has engulfed them.Red alert has been promulgated in other metro cities also.But in reality we notice no extra security measures worth the name in Kolkata.Perhaps,situation is no better at other metros also.So far as security is concerned we've resigned to our fate.Now we know we'll live so long as the terrorists will allow us to.Since the twin tower tragedy in America not a single incidence of terrorist activity has ever taken place.Admittedly,in a poor and largely populated country like ours, we can't afford high tech security measures like America but we can't even do what we're capable of doing.People here are so attuned to such tragedies like terrorists' attacks, they take them in their stride and forget these incidents in a few days, of course except those who've lost their near and dear ones or survived this tragedy and remain maimed for life.
