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.
