A Guarded Mosque in India, in times of test, how good it will be if our religious places are provided with surveillance it will deter, save, protect peace and harmony.
Every time we become prey to conspiracies of people among us who can not bear the silence of peace and harmony, their business shows sign of derailing, they are in business of hate and divide how will they be comfortable when communities and faiths live in peace side by side under the calls of Moazan from Minarte of Mosques, Ringing temple bells, and Sunday Mass and Grudwaras Chanting Gru-granth.
With our police force inadequate and not properly equipped and provided with sentific intelligence to cope up with the mischief of the dis-tractors how will they be able ensure stronger and effective deterrents.
Thus we see failure to provide effective vigilance and security we are though un intentionally are leaving flaws in our security, failing repeatedly in protecting sensitive religious places, their sanity, life’s, properties.
In my article during the unfortunate incidents of riots recently in Madanapet and Saidabad areas of Old City of Hyderabad wrote the following passages in respect to security of our religious places and sensitive areas.
Investigations by the Hyderabad police into the violence in Madannapet and Saidabad found that it was premeditated, and was aimed at fanning religious hatred. The incident of desiccation of a Religious Place is most mischievous act and it can not be done but with a planned intention to disturb peace and spread hatred among two communities.
The police who investigated the desecration of a place of worship in Kurmaguda of Madannapet in the city found that it was a pre-planned act. Had these religious places in known sensitive areas been equipped with surveillance day and night cameras, the incident to a great extent could have been avoided.
“We have clues and our teams are working on them. So far around 70 suspects who are known anti-social elements have been picked up and are being grilled. Apart from this we have also identified five suspects in specific cases of violence,” police commissioner A.K. Khan said.
To disrespect a religious place it is easy for senseless anti social elements who are trained violators of laws and are in habit to do criminal acts for a cost. They are hired for the job, when these criminals can be hired to to kill and harm people why can’t they be hired to desiccation religious places too. The Question is who has hired them, and motivated them to do these
heinous acts. A deeper and more effective probe is required to reach to those white color bosses who air crime and hate.
It makes me happy, to find people in Hyderabad realize the value of technology and they are willing to take initiative on thier own to set places of worship on round the clock security survialence by installing night and day cameras that will have record of 30 days, capturing both video and audio. Which will with out doubt will enhance security and detter conspirators, detractors and antisocial elements.
I am sure the amount police spends on providing additional police force and pickets is several times higher than the cost of round the clock surveillance 365 days of the year. What is encouraging is both the Both Hindus and Muslims are fed up with the mischief of few in the in the midst who are doing over time to drive a wedge of disunity and shatter communal harmony to secured small percentage of support for their ideology to support their vested interests.
In Hyderabad many mosques committees and Hindu Temple Committees are seriously serious working in these lines and looking for suppliers who can provide suvillance system, with two to four cameras, supported by a data recording hard disk and monitor to show the movement round the clock and record it for minimum of 30 days in video and audio.
One such mosque which was target of communal mischief has ordered security system, is Masjid e Tagghijail Amberpet Road Nimboliadda, Kachiguda, the committee has taken the task after the incident to raise the walls of the mosque high and also to go in for security sruviallence systems.
A set of two cameras to four cameras with monitor cost between, 10 thousand to 20 thousand depending upon the make and the features. And it is easily available one can get the camera inhalation team to the their door step with quotes by calling yellow pages or services like just dial.
I feel this is a need now, to protect our religious places being used as medium to advance the evil designs of the ruthless inhuman communal forces in the nation. For sake of peace and harmony.
The Government of A P and the Govt. of India and the Ministry of Minorities Affairs and Endowments in the case of Temples should take note of this development and gift security systems to the mosques and temples and get them installed this will be in best interest of saving values time in investigation after some thing happens and more importantly to prevent any such incident happening in future.
Hope the authorities and the both Hindus and Muslims will peruse and make our places of worship save and secure. An effort of safety of religious places that have become targets by the devils in our society who are so devilish they are shameless to an extent they can dessicate and damage their our places of worship.
