Suggestions to Manmohan Singh

Dear Prime Minister,

If you have any desire to fight terrorism here are some of the suggestions.

Have a nationwide number for emergency response, similar to 911 in US. The control center should be equipped to detect the location of the caller and route the call to nearest fire/police and other law enforcement. If this number was effective the incident on Kuber would have got reported and terrorists could have been stopped in the sea.

Introduce two year mandatory military training for Indian youth. It will instill sense of command in them. Right now all that they do is stand on the sides and clap for commandos. Mandatory military training has helped Israel respond to persistent Islamic terrorists.

Introduce CCTV cameras for every 500 mt in the city like that is done in London. In a TV spoof, a suspicious looking alien on the street of London is responded in minutes by London Police.

Start a central agency like FBI in India with purely using new recruits, no deputations please. The whole Mumbai episode has exposed the serious flaws in policing such as listed below.

Conduct an investigation and summarily dismiss the officials who bungled resulted in

Not being able to wage a night warfare on the terrorists, Why was this not planned?

Not being able to provide bullet proof vests for the commandos

Not being able to provide simultaneous attack on Taj terrorists. ( there was considerable time delay between the heli dropping and the first bang on the building as seen on TV )

Not being able to instruct commandos to show their face on TV

Not being able to cordon off the entire area, even after two days

Not being able to provide detailed maps of Taj for security agencies? Which town plan agency gave permission to that hotel?
