Terror attacks in Mumbai

Its sad to know about the terror attacks in Opera House, Zaveri bazar and Dadar in Mumbai. Ammonium nitrate was used as explosives. Unfortunately, the security establishment woke up after the attacks. As usual, once the issue dies the security will become lax. The politicians will come back to normal routine: looting people by corruption and politics.
The solution to these problems should be effective and in long term. One, the heightened security apparatus. The corruption in Police should be eliminated by zero tolerance to corruption. In addition, the policemen should be given better salaries and perks for their performance. Their numbers should be increased so that whole of Mumbai feels secure. Second, the politicians should be united when it comes to response towards terror. No politics should be played over the bodies of terror victims. They should not have any role in influencing the functioning of police. Third, the citizens should be vigilant and alert the security if they notice any suspicious movements. They should let go of their "chalta hai" attitude.
I am sure that these changes will take years or decades to become reality. But, we should not leave hope.
Jai Hind
