This is a very good initiative. I have lost some relatives and a close friend in the Mumbai incident. All the time I was helpless in the situation in the last 4 days, no information was provided on anything, the media had different versions on the whole situation.
Total lack of coordination, no one in the Government system new what was the status and there should have been one person from the Government responsible to brief the media. As per the media reports why were the NSG Commandos taken from Mumbai airport by BEST Buses and not by helicopter. We has law abiding citizens need to know where the tax payers money (which we are part of) is going. Why up to date equipment and facilities are not provided to the forces. When pay commission is discussed and approved the forces are not given the due and the so called IAS bureaucrats put hurdles and a difference is created within the government. It is time that the politicians realise and act on these with immediate effect. The politicians go to the people at least every five years but the bureaucrats have no accountability. At this time the home Minister has been changed, but other officers should also go. The Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra also need to go for there recent comments and visits to Taj and Oberoi Hotels. There is a need to shake up the entire lethargic government system.
