    This criminal act of kidnapping Police personnel shows how important it is to enforce laws of the land with a well trained coastal police and coast guard naval boats armed when necessary. Otherwise smugglers and criminal elements will take laws into their own hands. Soon smuggling of illegal drugs, and arms will be in the country. It is will be too late then if enforcement is delayed!
