Any resignations?

Published December 19, 2014

AFTER every terrorist attack, especially on the bases of our defenders, we are told that the terrorists came after climbing the back wall of the premises.

A preliminary investigation has stated that the terrorists used a ladder to scale over the back walls of the school.

And this time it all happened in broad daylight.

Can’t our intelligence agencies be proactive, for a change? At least some elevated vigilance should be placed along the back walls of all places linked to the forces, if not all the others!

The unfortunate tragedy is worth a couple of resignations, not just a couple of meetings.
