    Safety and security is a mandatory need in this time and age. We do not have to target foreign tourists alone but each one of us need be vigilant in our daily whoever we are and wherever we are.

    India has more than one reason to be on alert on internal security and safety because we are a secular nation and also we are a peace-loving nation with so much focused on democracy. Each and everyone of us - whether in our villages, towns or cities need to watch each other because there are so many elements prevail all around with an intoxicated mind filled with distortion and pervertions. Peace and tranquility also has a premium to pay, and the premium is early focus on all precautions and preventions that go hand in hand for a happy and peaceful co-existence
