Sir,
The State Government should revisit the order restraining police and CRPF personnel from carrying out weapons while dealing with protestors.
It is duty of the Government to see that no excesses are committed by police personnel but it has also to see that police do not become sitting ducks for militants. This will demoralise the security forces and make them unfit to fight against heavily armed militants. Had these jawans been armed with weapons the situation would have been otherwise.
Besides, the Government should find other ways to deal with the problem prevailing in the State. You can not keep forces always in fight gear.
Good governance and redressal of grievance is one way to reach the people of this State. The civil society members too should step in to save the situation from worsening further. Let all stakeholders work for promoting peace in the State.
Yours etc…
