How much justified is murder of a Seven year old Child inside a high Security School?

I never in my life heard more brutal news than this news of the murder of a seven-year-old student of Ryan International, Gurgaon. The name of this unlucky child was Pradyuman Thakur. He was brutally murdered inside the school bathroom by cutting his neck. The pictures of this scene were so disturbing that they shattered me from inside. I don't know that in which direction our education system is going. On the one side, such private school makes very tall claims for providing world class education and on the other hand, they fail to provide a secure atmosphere to the students. 

As per the media reports, the conductor of a school's bus has admitted that he was behind this crime. He said that his intentions were to sexually exploit the child but when the boy started shouting, then he killed the boy. However, there look to be some loopholes in his story so it becomes very important to thoroughly investigate this case. In this case, the negligence by the school is clearly visible. As per the reports, the CCTVs in the school were not functional. Moreover, how a bus conductor can reach the bathroom of school children. 

Schools like Ryan International charge very high amount of fees; however, the security level in these schools in very poor. This is the second incidence in Ryan International Schools and last year, a six-year boy drowned in the water tank of Vasant Kunj, Ryan School. Such incidences are very bad and it becomes the duty of school administration to stop such incidences from occurring. The cold hearted murder of a seven-year-old kid is one case which can't get any mercy. 

I hope that police will be investigating this case properly so that real culprits can be punished.  

Why Gurmeet Ram Rahim's adopted daughter Honeypreet is hiding?

From the last 10 days, self-claimed Godman from India Gurmeet Ram Rahim is behind the bars. With his downfall, many of his close ones have also disappeared and one of them is his adopted daughter Honeypreet Insa. She was seen accompanying Baba Ram Rahim to Rohtak Jail in the Helicopter. After leaving the Rohtak jail, no one has any clue about the whereabout of Honeypreet. This thing creates a lot of curiosity in everyone's mind that why she is hiding. 

Haryana police have booked her under many cases for planning violence after the verdict of Ram Rahim at serval places in the state. According to many eyewitnesses who have worked in the dera, she was the main decision maker after Baba Ram Rahim at the Sirsa Dera. She was so powerful that she had more power than any other family members of Ram Rahim's family. Gurmeet's wife was not even allowed to come close to him and it is clear from many videos and pictures available online. 

People who have remained close to Baba Ram Rahim says that Honeypreet was the mastermind behind many of Baba's actions. They further say that the recent transformation in Baba only took place after Honeypreet activity entered his life. Therefore, police also believe that many new things may come out about Baba Ram Rahim once she is captured. However, so far Haryana police have failed to find her even searching many parts of India. Some news in media even claims that she has run out of India probably to Nepal. 

If Honeypreet is innocent and she has nothing to hide, then it is important that she should come out and face the charges. Otherwise, it will further firms the opinion of people that she is hiding many secrets and something fishy was going inside the dera. 

Rain Terror in Mumbaai (Again)

A few days back, I told you about the havoc created by 3 hours of rain in the Tricity of Chandigarh. (Click Here to read again) All this clearly indicates that our big cities are not prepared for heavy rains and people face acute problems whenever it rains heavily in this these cities. Today's news suggests same for Indian commercial capital Mumbai where so far more than 100 mm rain took place. This rain has again put the whole city to halt by stopping all kinds of public transport. 

Mumbai local is the life line of Mumbaikars because it contacts with to the various parts of the city quickly; however, today Mumbai local has totally stopped working thus making it very hard for people to reach their homes. To stop the situation from going out of hand, Mumbai government asked all private and government offices to close early so that people can reach their homes on time. Mumbai government has further asked everyone to stay in their homes. 

Already all major rail tracks and roads are under water, thus making it very hard for people to reach their homes. The state government has further advised people to all call 100 in case of any emergency or help. A wrote article on this matter 10 years back, Rain disasters and Mumbai, but it looks that nobody learned any lesson. The Governments come and go but the situation remains the same or even become worse. Met department predicts that heavy rains may continue for next two to three days and this can make further worsen the situation. 

I hope that nobody must have forgotten about the 26th July 2005 floods in Mumbai which put the whole city to halt and more than 400 people died due to drowning or other accidents. The urban planning is totally failing all major cities of the India and we need to work out some solution for the safety of people.
