Sub: Security—A Major Concern

Sir

I wish to draw your attention to the crimes which are being perpetuated(continued) on a daily
 basis against the common citizens of this country. Newspaper headlines everyday are splashed

with details of crimes ranging from petty chain snatching incidents to daring burglaries

and gory blood chilling murders. No city, street or home is safe and the people live in

constant fear of life and property. What is our society coming to?

It is indeed a matter of great shame that the police has become ineffective and cannot

check the rise of unprecedented crime graph. It is even more shocking that the judiciary

seems to have lost its voice and criminals are acquitted of charges ranging from

Kidnapping to rape and murder.

It is high time that we rise with a heightened sense of urgency to tackle this serious issue.

Stringent laws need to be put into place and enforced religiously. The policing needs to

undergo a rapid transformation by involving the community at large. Resident Welfare

Organisations, MLA’s, NGO’s and other support systems must work in tandem to address

these security concerns. Self-defence training should be provided to all students as a part of

the school curriculum. People need to be vigilant at all times and report any suspicious

activity noticed in their surroundings to the local authorities. The police force needs to be

trained and empowered to develop a more positive image in the eyes of the common person.

Yours truly

Sanjay

Sub: Chain-snatching incidents

Sir

May I use the columns of your esteemed daily to draw the attention of the concerned

authorities towards the increasing incidents of chain-snatching in the city. Our organization

has lodged several complaints with the police, but no action seems to have been initiated

so far as no tangible results can be perceived.

It seems that some anti-social elements have adopted this method to make a fast buck.

Crowded market places, railway platforms, bus shelters and lonely or deserted roads are

usually the scenes of these crimes.

It is suggested that the police as well as general public must take some strong steps and

precautions to check these incidents and nab the culprits. Girls and ladies should not

flaunt their ornaments or display them brazenly to tempt the chain-snatchers. More

policemen with facility of wireless and mobile phones should be posted at sensitive

points. Concerted efforts should be undertaken.

It is hoped that the authorities will take prompt action.

Yours faithfully

Rachit
