@al: You are right and the increase in negative activity in LOC is the reason for this.....many people may not agree to my opinion, but I think I am right.....
@Web Desk: "Around 200 police personnel were present at the scene." . Once 200 policemen are needed to dispose off one 10 kg explosive, the rest are are guarding the VIPs, there's a crying need for recruiting more of them.
