Crime & the Capital
News hype or police negligence, who cares; the big part is to be played by the capital's citizens on countering crime.
Though its evident that the Noida Police have been lax, one cannot blame the police entirely.
Residents of suburban Delhi who have long remained aloof of the developments in their neighborhood need to play a more proactive role. May be not as a moral-policeman, as evident in UP during this season but as police-informers especially when you come across suspicious activities.
The ghastly murder of 30 children in the industrial city of Noida, suggests that all is not well in the capital's most developed suburbs. It goes to show not just the kids of affluent families (as in the case of Anant's kidnapping) but ones from the poorer families are equally as susceptible to crime.
The capital has been witness to several incidents of crime in the last quarter decade,
From kidnapping to extortion, it seemed the Biarhoodization of the state had just began.
Then you had cases of rape, murder and finally when things couldn't get worse, it was found that even pedophiles activity existed.
How is Delhi and its suburbs going to cope in the aftermath of such heinous crimes? What could each one's role in the society:
Delhi Police - needs to take care of not just Delhi but also its industrial suburbs of Noida; UP and Gurgaon. Noida & Gurgaon needs to remain a state subject but this time it needs to be under the Delhi State Police, as they seem more efficient.
Legislature - need to visit their constituencies regularly. If we do not know our neighbors, its least expected of the legislatures to know them better.
Judiciary - Quick justice and severe sentencing of criminals involved in such gory acts.
People - Know thy neighbor. Its ok to interact with those outside your home not only ifthey were part of your Business.
News recap
45,000 children go missing every year in India
Read the Hindustan Times (4th Jan '007) for more
Noida Police under fire
Read the Indian Express (4th Jan '007) for more
And the final nail in the coffin on the whole crime - The UP Chief Minister avoids visiting Noida due to Political superstition. It's believed that any UP Chief Minister visiting Noida during their tenure never returns to power.
