A MEANS TO THE END,BUT NOT THE END

      The gang rape of Delhi has put to question the efficiency of the transport system of Delhi as well as was the police officers. The rage against the police officers of Delhi and the lack of proper bus services during night has served as an eye opener for the government. Besides appeals for punishment for the rapists, like capital punishment and chemical castrations, the population and mainly the woman section of Delhi has demanded for steps to increase their security

        Therefore, steps such as installing G.P.S Systems and CCTV cameras have been suggested. While G.P.S System shall be installed in the buses would ensure that buses do not stray off from their assigned routes on the other hands CCTVs which would remain hidden in transports shall administer the activities going on in the vehicle. Trained officials or men shall keep an eye on any suspicious activity.

        Though it sounds an easy job to do so, and thus expecting that it may bring about a solution to the increasing number of rapes in the country, installing so many G.P.S Systems and CCTV cameras in all the vehicles as well as places such as parking lots, entertainment hubs etc is a tedious job. Continuous 24*7 surveillance through these devices still another tedious task and all officials may not be efficient and honest enough to report suspicious activities.

        So, G.P.S Systems and CCTV cameras are not the ultimate solution to such issues. The instilment of fear , alongside with changing the mindset of the people would also be an important step. If fear lies in the heart of such rapist then also the rape rates would go down.

       So we cannot expect that such devices would completely bring about a standstill to the occurrence of rapes.
