Rural consumer reserach
Britain foiled the plans of a massive terror attack plan which was being ‘dry run’ and enlightened the world and those fighting terrorism about the constant threat terrorists and terrorism poses to innocent civilians around the world.
The plans were foiled owing to stringent intelligence networks and world class supervisory appratus in place which again draws attention to the importance of communication and intelligence services of a country. The better the intelligence and security machienary of a country, the fewer the chances of such terror attacks.
But no country or no government is completely equipped to thwart such attempts and in a country like India which has population to boast, it is an uphill task for sure! Although the population makes it a force to reckon in terms of manpower and skilled workforce, it also makes it vulnerable to terror attacks.
It is in this scenario, that the state must increase the coordination between various agencies and pull up their bootstraps by hiring and deploying a good skilled workforce. Deployment of sophisticated gadgets to the aid of the agencies such as CCTV and increase in the strength of intelligence officials across different states would serve to boost the counter terror measures.
Lessons are there to be learnt, be it the 2006 Mumbai bomb blasts or the 1993 Mumbai blasts. Examples are there to be emulated such as Britain’s efforts.
The time has come for some concerted action and make this world a little more safe!…
What do you say..?
The Indian team is in Sri Lanka to play the tri nation tournament along with South Africa. Bolstered by the return of maestro Sachin Tendulkar, the team shows some promise.
But will it be able to break the jinx of losing in the finals of tournaments and maul the lankans who are considered to be a tough opponent at home? Well, the practice match played between India and Sri Lanka A does not augument this feeling. The host were defeated by a slender margin and Tendulkar failed to fire!
These may be early days and the Indian team might be taking time to acclimatise to the conditions in Sri Lanka, but then this time, it does not have that many opportunities to give excuses with the return of Tendulkar and Mongia.
So, what do you feel? Will India defy the odds and prove that they can present a stiff challenge to the Lankans and the Proteas??
Be heard…speak out!
Human beings are social animals and by this I mean, our actions do not exist in isolation. They have generally a cause and effect nature, which implies that each and every action performed voluntarily or involuntarily, has its origin somewhere. Everyday in our lives, domestic as well as workplace, we come across different situations, few require treatment different from others.
