Black Friday in Bangalore

Posted in Life in Bengaluru by thelastpaladin on July 25, 2008

Eight serial bomb blasts rocked the IT hub of India today.  From the timings of the blasts, it looked pretty much like a coordinated attack. News channels reported it was triggered by a timer device. At least two people lost their lives and several injured. Police say the blasts were low intensity, but a blast is a blast. Why should someone play with people’s lives? Some time back, there was a terror attack in Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore; now in several places. Where is Bangalore heading?

I don’t understand what terrorists (or anyone who did this) are going to achieve by doing this. I think people have learnt to live with all these problems, just forgetting the blues and going ahead. And in a country like India, what can police do other than trying their best to stop all this menace?
