Pepper spray, taser gun and the like essential for women travelling alone

We are living in an idioticm bizarre world, where everyone has fulminations, but no one acts timely.

The trauma suffered by Soumya, the girl who was attacked on train and raped on the tracks to death, presents inexplicable angles. The train guard could have spotted them jumping down the train. The youth who had told others about the episode should have been supported by fellow travellers and the railway officials. Nothing positive happened and the world is essentially poor once again of goodness.

People fall terribly injured on the roads bleeding when others look askance at the scene. They may help cats and dogs which are injured, but not human beings who fall down terribly injured. People are scared that the police would harass them and they have to go to courts all their lifetime if they help someone like this.

Speaking about morality and justice, one should not forget the fact that there are joints in various places where women are enticed and given away for flesh trade.

Young girls are trapped one way or other and they are presented to worthies in the society. No one would complain. In fact, operators of such rackets who are hand in glove with goons who protect them are roaming freely.
Drunkards and drug addicts are having a field day, for they have saviours belonging to the high echelons of the society.

For now, it is high time the authorities thought about providing pepper (red chillies) sprays and taser guns giving electric shock to women travelling alone. Employers should be asked to provide such protective gear to the women employees, for which legal and administrative provision should be created.

These should be available at ladies stores in plenty so that women can buy them at cheap rates.

There is no point in ignoring dangers prevalent in a tumultuous world.
