Security is everybody’s responsibility
Saturday 13 Feb’10, when I was having my evening tea after taking a good long sleep of 3 hours. My brother who works with a software company in Pune called me up and asked if I am watching any of the news channels.
I switched on, my tv and started scanning the channels. Meanwhile he told me that there had been a bomb blast in the famous “German Bakery” shop. I was shocked to hear this . This place is usually occupied with foreigners and youngsters. My brother’s voice was broken and he sounded deeply upset. He and his friends used to visit the shop almost every weekend and spend hours there.It took time a while to realize that this had truly happened. I then frantically started dialing in all my friends and relatives, who stay in Pune , just to make sure that they all were fine.
Thank God….everybody was ok….
But wait.. was everybody ok… !!!!!!
8 people were killed on the spot and many received injures. They were also close to someone…..
Then I realized that my responsibility doesn’t end here (just calling my frens and relatives to know if they are safe) but it’s something more than that. Why we (as a citizen) are always suffer at the hands of these militant groups……?? Why can’t we be proactive?? Why do we always start complaining and blaming the govt .when such disasters happen????
Is it only the government’s responsibility????
Aren’t we also responsible for creating awareness and follow certain rules like – ‘Never open an unattended bag and inform Police in such situations OR ‘Inform police about any suspicious person’????
Yes. We are definitely responsible as citizens of this country…. . I am not saying that whatever Government is doing is enough and they can’t do more. Yes, they are also ‘reactive’ and not ‘proactive’. They wake-up only when something bizarre like this happens . They also make mistake by putting a terrorist behind the bars instead of shooting him at sight. Many more actions government can and should take at their end.
But , we should also identify and do what we can be done at our end. That way we can make an effort to avoid such circumstances if we can’t directly prevent them from happening…
Because……. Security is everybody’s responsibility…and ultimately it is the common people like you and me who suffer at the hands of these terrorists ….. as anyways the politicians have policemen around them 24x7 …
