It was a nice day, slight sunshine, warmth after a cold night; and I, along with three friends decide to head to the city(some 20 Km away from the college). We take a private city bus, that so characterizes Jaipur for us students. As soon as we reach Kunda a place 2 km from Amer we see drones of countless young men walking aong the street. Before we could contemplate the sight a rock hits the window , then another , then it rains rocks. A minute later the window breaks and there is debris flying everywhere. The bus stops, and I along with my 3 lady friends find ourself stranded in the middle of a potential riot. We head for cover behind a police jeep, and ask whats all this about. The answer is strange, the mob was here to join the CISF an internal security police branch. These hollignas will bear the buren of our safety, the chaps who in front of our eyes assaulted nearly 6-7 vehicals even AC tourist busses plying foriegn tourists.
Why? because they were 80,000 strong and had no transportation for another 16km, frustrated the call for drastic measures and hijack city busses and lorries on the highway. The polce force deployed to handle this situation a mere handfull.
The question that arises, why cant the manage an event that can be predicted to get out of hand as this happens everyyear. More importantly, are these the future of our police forces, the protectors of our freedam and rights.
