Click to play videoNew Delhi: Two days after the high intensity blast at the Delhi High Court that left 13 dead and close to 90 injured, no lessons have been learnt. A status check of all the other court premises in the capital showed that we do nothing to make the job of a terrorist difficult.
Another terror attack, this time the Delhi High Court. What's worse is it was hit barely three and a half months back as well. So how safe are our courts?
At the highest symbol of India's judiciary, the Supreme Court, the sight seemed to be encouraging. From lawyers to journalists, no one is spared from a thorough check before they enter the premises.
Unfortunately the same couldn't be said about the lower courts. At the Tees Hazari Court, despite the presence of 125 CCTV cameras - out of which six are dysfunctional - the sheer crowd makes the court an ideal target. Rows of cars are parked without being checked and people carry bags without any checks.
At the Patiala House courts, its worse. There are no CCTV cameras and the police scramble to do their bit when they see the camera rolling, somehow frisking the men, but letting the ladies - even with bags - pass right through.
"I dont feel safe at all. There are no CCTVs also," said a lawyer.
A day after the Delhi High Court was targetted, is holding a gun outside a court enough? Maybe not. When will we start taking security seriously?
