Lax security

The terrorist attack on a CRPF camp in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, which claimed eight lives, proved how lax security is even in armed camps. The attack has exposed the soft underbelly of the security forces which are expected to be vigilant all the time. It is important to evolve a foolproof identification system to prevent terrorists dressed as security forces from sneaking into the camps brazenly.

The cowardly attack on the CRPF centre deserves to be condemned. It proves all claims of decline in terrorism false. Equally disturbing was the report of yet another intelligence warning being ignored. A foolproof coordinating mechanism needs to be put in place. State-level security agencies should be trained to maintain heightened vigil.
