2008 era is over, this year i feel many of us really had a taste of Ugadi pacchadi. Ugadi pacchadi is a drink blended of items to bring out 6 different tastes(sweet for happyness, tamarind-sour experience) of life. THis one drink symbolizes the all sorts of experiences that one has to taste to have a perfect life. I believe 2008 pacchadi was little sour to every one, coz we have been through many terrorist attacks around us, global meltdown slowing our economic growth...blah blah, If i start listing out there will be many in 2008.
More traumatic for us was recent mumbai attacks by terrorists, this attack was really different they came out in open and shot every one on the roadside untill their guns go in vain. we are beraved of many of our friends, the bravo commandos who put up their lives to save innocents in this attacks. A salute to them in honour.
I believe, Its an open challenge to us by terrorists about a common man's security on streets. It took almost 3 days... for our solidiers, policemens to knock them down.
I am not raising finger against our bravos, but concern about the preperation of our govt to thwart this kind attacks before hand. I am talking about failure of our intelligence agencies, failure of indian governance in webbing right laws to dismantle terrorist activists.This attack has shown up fissures in our governance, raised many questions about threat to nations integrity and safety for which 2008 had no answers.
But the recent good news from our cogress govt, is that a new vigilence agency,National investigation agency(NIA) and a new law Unlawful activities (prevention) amendment,UAPA has been set up to track down terrorists activities has been set up to track down terrorists activities. On the new year day our president Hon prathiba patil had given her assent to bring these regulations to motion. Adding on Govt is also, turning the pages to establish National security guards in all major cities and some counter insurgency and anti terrorist schools to rebuild the safety levels.
Many a good things for 2009 to start off with from Govt and I still want to give one suggestion it, to improve the infrastructure in all Govt and private hospitals to be euip with proper treatments for the injured once if this kind of hienous acts commited. Hope to see many new initiatives from every one in offending terrorist acts unitely.
wish to see a terror free years...
