Last few weeks, we are
seeing agitations all over the country in protest against brutal acts of some
fellows on a girl. Many institutions of government and non-government are
proposing several actions to avoid such attrocities in the future. Government has set
up a fast track court to hear the case. Companies that hire vehicles were advised to verify the details of cab drivers engaged before employing them for
ferrying them to office / home. May be this should be done for all employees like it is done in important government institutions.
A common helpline is also being proposed in
some states to receive the calls from those in danger and provide necessary
help.
Companies too can set up
their own helpline or can form an association with other companies in the city
and operate a helpline in the city of operation. Big companies can have their
own helpline set up and link it to their head quarters also.
Why some persons are
engaged in such unacceptable acts is that there is no fear in them as they
would not have seen the punishments. This can be seen from the appearance of
similar news reports even after the first incident and uproar against it.
No normal person goes
against a speeding vehicle or a train as he is sure that it will over run him.
Such an awareness should
be brought among all by awarding quick stern punishments so that nobody dares
to commit such acts. Fear is the key and this only will work. Once culprits are
known, then immediate punishment as per applicable law should be awarded and
implemented. If somebody commits a mistake, they should be punished
irrespective of other factors. Otherwise, loop holes will be taken to their
advantage and crimes will continue to grow. There should not be any hesitation
in this regard to save fellow human beings.
