Terrorism has become a global threat

What a paradox it is as terror strikes all over and France is a fresh target for terrorists. We are there for every other outsider but fail to reach out to a loved one who suffers in silence. All of us care for a violation of rights in the far end of the world but fail to see violation of faith within. We forgive strangers and sworn foes for treason but fail to forgive a lapse in friends. We look at career triumphs of masters yet fail to notice personal triumphs of a dear one.

As World spread terrorism is witnessed, we in India are finding the facts of earlier attacks and try hard to bring zero terrorism in our country through concerted efforts. In the name of Eid terrorism was spread and this time round militants targeted France Streets and we are worried about the next terror target. It is time for retrospection and acting swiftly as the world peace is disturbed through violent methods. Gun wielding attackers, crude bombs and suicide bombers all play havoc and cause heavy casualties through cruel methods. The battle lines are drawn for such fierce attacks in the future as well. It is time to remain prepared with forces trained to combat terror attacks and pay them in the same coin rather than being acting in a cowardly manner. The terror attack must be curbed through time tested methods.

People were aware of the 26/11 attack and its repercussions. No one is there to pity the martyrs in the name of terrorism. The Jawans who take care of our borders have not been provided the best accommodation and they are facing too many harships. The victim’s kin are unable to receive the funds allotted to them by the State and Central Government. They suffer in harness and face a precarious situation. So, awareness about the terror attacks and its implications is the need of the hour. Mumbai in general and the country in particular should not lag behind in the steps taken in preventing terror attacks. Maharashtra government has beefed up security at vital installations in Mumbai, places of worship and those frequented by tourists as per instructions from the Union Home ministry after the terror attack at the Pathankot Air base in Punjab. A terror alert from Delhi has placed anti-terror agencies in Maharashtra on their toes. It is time to beef up security and do a world of good to safeguard airports and other prime targets in the city.

In the past, owing to terror strikes, it has become clear that the main cities were targeted by the terrorists. For instance the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks claimed 164 lives and properties were destroyed. These terrorists mostly focus on crowded places, religious centres and spots where foreign dignitaries visit. Such incidents create a sense of insecurity among citizens. It’s a herculean task to prevent untoward incidents and create awareness among the residents. Police department is organizing an ‘Anti-Terrorism Week’ for educating people. Such a move at the world level can bring world peace in the wake of several attacks in various countries and France suffers the most in this regard.
