The Shocking Announcement …In More Sense Than One

On the eve of the Ganesh festival in Maharashtra, the police, Chief Minister and media all have come with this 'shocking' announcement…that two terrorists are roaming in the street and cause havoc. Now in a state where a history-sheeter with two criminal cases against his name and known links with banned outfit Students Islamic of India can roam freely for two years, it is not a news that two terrorists have arrived in Mumbai in a bid to carry out their violent plans.

Joint Police Commissioner Himanshu Roy told reporters that intelligence reports received by the police and state home department said the pair -- said to be a Bangladeshi and a Pakistani -- entered Mumbai sometime ago.

The police fear that the two may carry out attacks during the Ganesh festival, which is celebrated in Mumbai and rest of Maharashtra on a grand scale.

What was more dreadful for me was the manner in which the officials went public with the information which, as has come out, seems little helping towards nabbing the terrorists. Probably the administration was buoyed by the success in arresting two main conspirators in German Bakery blast cast, as was claimed just a day ago by the same police. Now if the officials could carry out that operation with such swift and silent moves, what stopped them from doing same in this case?

Exactly what type of precaution did the officials wanted the public to take while issuing the alert to citizens in this manner. Does the administration think that their alert will be consumed only by common public and not the men whom they are searching or who have given them the shelter? If they want to create panic, they have succeeded. Alert citizens are not made through panicky notifications. They are made through the consistent efforts, which sadly lacked all through these years.
