Spiral of crime robs citizens of security

News of macabre incidents reaches us almost every day. Dead bodies are being recovered from rivers, ponds, septic tanks, ditches; members of some family found burnt to death, strangulated or chopped in a gruesome way. Fiendish incidents have increased alarmingly. It seems that the law and order has collapsed completely. Political unrest is the main reason behind this. Criminals are taking advantage of the situation as law enforcing agents are busy stopping the normal activities of the political parties who are not happy with the autocratic stance of the government.

People want security. Those who took control of the country must return it to the people.
