What Steps should be taken by goverment for the security of indian students?
I believe strong steps should be taken , such as
4-5 security guards in every train during the evening time to make sure the safety of the people travelling in public transport.
2 security guards in every station.
All these security guards should have a walkie talkie which is linked to a local police stations in that suburbs.
Regular patrolling of cops in every railway station.
These are the security measure which I think will help improve the security of Indian students as well as help other tourists as well. It is time for goverment to step up and do something rather than apologizing on every incident.
