Editorial Perspectives

• In recent months, Police received threats of bombing hospitals and schools at various locations across India. Are some antisocial elements issuing these threats due to a perverted mentality ? They need to be punished.

• Security agencies, upon realising that these frequent email-threats are false, start ignoring them. The terrorists could exploit this laxity to orchestrate a major conspiracy. Hence, the security agencies must get to the root of this issue.
