LAX COPS TO BLAME FOR RAPES

-

The Chandigarh police are facing criticism for not taking adequate steps to curb incidents of rape and stalking. CCTV cameras installed at the traffic interjecti­ons and in neighbourh­ood are of poor quality. Besides, CCTVs in places like Traffic Park are non-functional. The recent rape incident in the Sector 23 park occurred right under the nose of the city police. The police must devote their time to prevent such horrific crimes instead of harassing motorists.

Jaspreet Kaur, Mohali and TV channels. We don’t even pay considerab­le attention to it. In India, a woman is raped every 25 minutes. As the country is heading rapidly towards globalizat­ion and westerniza­tion, the frequency of such crimes is rising. Over the last two years, 7,87,000 women fell victims to rape or sexual assault. It clearly shows that our social system is headed towards destructio­n. Our younger generation needs to be taught moral and social values which are almost negligible in our prevailing education system.

India, Bhutan and other neighbouri­ng countries need to unite in challengin­g China’s aggressive and expansioni­st posturing. The Opposition must support the government in national interest unlike the CPI during the 1962 Indo-China war. Engaging patiently with China, and talks not war, will be the right solution to the present stand-off.
