Our Existence - ??
It is appalling to read such news. A 24 year old working girl has been raped and brutally murdered. This incident makes me cringe. Is this the other side of the coin? When we boast that our IT and the BPO industry is booming, do we ever think of such fallouts? The government brags of the infrastructure and the economic subsidies that it lends to foster such IT and BPO companies. But, Is it not an important duty of the government to protect its citizens? The companies also seem to be derelict of their duties. Is it enough if they just provide transportation facilities to their employees? Is that really all? I know, it is not feasible to provide z-class security to their employees, but can’t they not frame some flawless and stringent security policies? Hire cab services who have a good reputation in the travel industry, never allow a girl to go alone in a cab at nights - send them in groups, never encourage the employees to leave in the wee hours of night and the likes.
I hope this would be the first and the last incident of this kind. The floods and the stampede in Chennai and now this one in Bangalore, makes me really feel, we are crossing a bad patch of our times. It seems that we need to be extra cautious or our survival would become questionable.

This is not the first of its kind, its happened in Bombay also. Whats the govt going to do about it? As we progress -the crime rate only seems to be increasing.
I think girls should be more vigilant.The day the incident happened the driver had called two otehr girls but they enquired at their office and didnt go with him..so along with the offices providing additional security the employees have to look out for themselves too
i shall refrain from majorly commenting on the issue, but one thing - i doubt if its all gonna stop.
"I hope this would be the first and the last incident of this kind." sorry man, not a chance in hell for that hope of yours.
This is what happens when people try to reach the skies when the foundation is not strong.
@Ramblings - Very True. If the crime rate increases proportionaly as the progess, then there is no point in the progress at all. Nobody is going to be delighted by such a progress..Huh!
@Shikha - Exactly! People should take care of their own safety. Being extra cautious is worth it.
@Nothings Aplenty - I just hope, it stops here! Rather I should say I pray for such things not happening again.
@AFJ - True, without the proper setup, the govt cannot dream to achieve big things.
Yes, the incident is really sad and it came as a shock to the nation.
Rita - True, it is a tragedy.
