Seven bombs explode in Bangalore business district
I was quiet unaware of d fact until 3pm.but since then the local cops of vasanthnagar,ensured our safety as much as possible.but tho they did so,they cant very constantly keep a check on us.u never know...al des sort of happenings are so unpredictable.so it would be appreciable if the govt decides to grant leave toschools and colleges to ensure the safety of the younger citizens in a easier way.its not reaaly easy for the parents aswel let out their offsprings because its a matter of risk or safety.
thanking you,

since long such events of bomb blast murder dacoity etc has become part n parcel of the daily life n its high time the government takes this even more seriously the administeration should be handed over to the military commandos till such time it is cleared thouroughly of the culprits this will automatically finish the hide n seek game of the culprits from one state to anther which is the main loophole of their escape `thourough searches for illegal possessions of arms and weapons and ammunitions etc must be carried out with the assistance of civil authorities and the scoundrels rounded up
