Living on the edge

Jaya Jagannath,

On behalf of all Odia community, we show our deepest condolence to all those 200 Indians including about 20 security personals from NSG commando group, police and army officials who lost their lives in the recent Mumbai terror attack. We specially show our head bowed respect to NSG commando Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan of Bangalore who lost his life shielding his injured commando mate to rescue. Karnataka lost a lion man who left all of us piercing our hearts with grief and grievance. All we are left with now is an unbearable sting of memory of our brave soldiers, a ghostly looking Taj Mahal palace that suffered loss worth over 5,000 crores, ripped apart innocent civilian bodies sprayed with bullets and grenade pellets across the gateway of India and thus the most bitter but valuable lesson of our lifetime for our negligence and irresponsiveness in protecting our own motherland.

Recent terror strikes in Mumbai unmasked many bitter truths of India’s intelligence agencies, early warning systems, emergency readiness and efficiency in counter measures.

How Can we prevent this :

• First and foremost it’s the responsibility of each and every Indian to be honest and responsive towards our country’s security. How can someone pierce thru navy patrol, fishermen’s network and coast guard surveillance land at the economy capital of India without being detected. It’s a clearly a security mishap and irresponsiveness of all sea dwellers of India.

• Intelligence agencies should be optimum alert at all times and should get equipped with sophisticated surveillance equipments and sensors. All weather remote sensing satellites should be tasked with round the clock monitoring and sensing of countries borders.

• Some kind of sensors or floating devices similar to sunami sensors should be deployed along international water borders to sense any and everything crossing along.

• Commando and elite forces of course not to be stationed at Delhi only. The need is to spread them across metros. There need to be quickest response and counter measures to such incidents. Let the defense be independent of politicians and self decisive to such things. Time will no way tolerate a delay of nine hours for NSG commandos and army to reach the spot ever in life. Imagine if instead of mere four terrorists, our enemy country would have attacked thru Mumbai. Do we expect Mumbai police to defend the enemy for nine hours till army arrives?

• Drones, spy planes and unmanned areal vehicles should be flown across international border to smell out any cross border movements.

• Microbiology and Biotechnology professionals should invent something advanced to a teargas shell that once fired upon will suffocate the target area chocking every one for some time or even temporarily paralyzing men at target by directly impacting their nerve centre. The objective should be to temporarily disable everyone at the target area for some time and then once bad guys are picked from the target, the rest can be recovered with antidotes. If we can have a tear gas shell designed, why can’t this ? Applying this at such urban close combat battle, we can restore the sanctity of our monuments and heritage and still punish the culprit.

• Police especially of top ten cities in India must be modernized with all communication and signaling gadgets, better fire power, instant strike capabilities, strategy makers. Engaging brave police men with service revolver in hand against dreaded terrorists equipped with AK 56 automatic assault rifles is unwise.

• An anti terror emergency number similar to 100, 101 and 103 should be configured and should accessible across the country with thousands of parallel lines and responsible people responding to it immediately.

And here goes the first Correction :

Home minister Shivraj Patil is thrown out of Union Govt. for his irresponsiveness and inability to justify his designation. Ok, to introduce Shivraj Patil, for Orissa he bears a better identification. He was the one who was blamed during Orissa floods for inadequate assessment, promising for half the necessity and then providing even less than one tenth of it in reality. He came for an aerial survey well after the flood had almost finished everything. Responding to the state Govt. plea for 1000 crore as central help, he promised for just 500 crore while leaving Bhubaneswar Airport and after reaching New Delhi he forgot that too. Just threw a coin in return. ( Synonymous : During Bihar floods apart from forcefully snatching 3 day salaries of all salaried central Govt. employees across India, Lalu Yadav also demanded 1500 crores and Central Govt. home minister instantly released 1500 crores with a cute smile, of course May be reason being lalu parts with him at the central Govt. ).
