Merely spotting some men with arms does not mean that hard core terrorists have entered Mumbai and there is no need for people to panic but it is always safe to be alert. It could also be mistaken identity as two kids spotted such people but it is always better to be safe than sorry. Mumbai has been at the epicenter of terrorism and it should be on high alert always irrespective of these ‘spotting’ or events.
Technology is the key and Mumbai and other cities should be monitored every second through electronic gadgets apart from top intelligence sources who should work round the clock. There is no need to panic as these incidents send wrong signals to our enemies but people’s cooperation is must and every untoward sighting or event must be brought to the notice of the authorities. In unity lies our strength and people irrespective of caste and creed, religion or language must be united to fight militants that may want to destabilize our nation.
Also, people should not share rumours on social media to spread panic among others. We must have faith on the armed forces who are capable of protecting the people.
