who cares about killed and wounded The victims of terror in Mumbai have been treated in hospitals.Lucky are those who scape with minor injuries and specially those who died.Victims of permanent injuries, disabilities and those whose earning potentialis extinguished are a difficult lot The living conditions of family members of loss of bread winner are pathetic.The public symphaty is momentary and thety are not expected to go beyond that of immediate assistance. No announcement are made by any high level Govt. functionaries about immediate compensation , as is usually done after such disasters. The focus is on the terrorists identification and eventual justice. we know even after due processof law that Afzal Guru and Ajmal Kasab are mocking our judicial system and Democratic rights Delayed punishment is making mockery of our punitive law and adding salt to the wounds of innocent victims of terror strikes, The blood of the victims is crying for justice as their right to live as the citizens of this Countrt has long been forfeited Apart from sensational ex gratia payment, nothing more is heard about these unfortunate victims of terror The emphasis on detection,prevention must also have a component of permanent mechanism of after care , rehabilitation,and compensation based upon the gravity of damage We understand that the victims of 26/11 are still a neglected lot and are no more the focus of any Govt.plans of assistance The victims of such terror in India either living or dead must receive same determinations as the pursuit of terrorists,punishment and prevention,detection Nelson Lopes Chinchinim 9850926276
