We need to strengthen our police forces on the pattern of motorway police. Only the police has capabilities and know how to deal with terrorists.
@Stranger: How do you know if it is a drop in the ocean? I think the police have done a great job. How many acts of terrorism or violence do you see in Punjab - almost nothing. There were 40 shootings in Chicago USA this past week end. All of Punjab with over 100 million people didn't see as many shootings as this one American city. We need to respect the security forces who do a great job of apprehending anti state cowards who attack civilians.
These policemen are as much of heroes as our army and PAF men are. I wish people were more respectful to the policemen.
Good job but just a drop in the mighty ocean .
Good job by the security officials in catching these criminals.
