City & Crime

IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY....

Hi All!

With the incidents happening around us and the crime that is been reported we can SAFELY say that each day is getting worse in our good old garden city. Under this situation we will always have a question in our conscious mind which asks us AM I SAFE ? No one can give you an accurate answer to this .... crime is like an accident which we can meet up with at anytime.The best way not to meet with it is to follow the doctors proverb "PRECAUTION IS BETTER THAN CURE" . Crime happens only if there is opportunity given to it or when there is chance for it.

A few tips that can definitely help everyone,

1) Avoid speaking to people whom you don't know (auto rickshaw driver, taxi drivers ....)

2) Avoid late night parties.

3) Do not mix drinking with your wonderful ability to drive.

4) Avoid taking ladies to the late night parties, if you cannot avoid then try going in groups.

5) Avoid taking short cuts when going out in the nights.

6) Avoid restaurant/dhabas in the outskirts of the city as these are places where anti social elements usually hang out.

7) Report incidents to the police if you feel it is the correct information that you are providing to them.

8) Make sure you inform any one before you visit them late at night and also specify time frames.

10) Couples in love please please avoid meeting up in lonely places.

11) Avoid arguing with auto rickshaw drivers and also when you find people who are fighting on roads(it could be a trap)

12) Avoid having personal and friendly conversation with taxi drivers, auto rickshaw drivers , Cab drivers (Specially women)

13) If the driver behaves suspiciously/ rudely try to divert the vehicle to some public place and then immediately get off. Inform the transport department and your manager.

14) Women make sure that you are carrying something to protect yourselves such as a bottle of pepper spray and also make sure that you are wearing a jacket or a shawl if you are not escorted by a man whom you know.

As the famous Theory of Charles Darwin goes " Survival of the fittest" . When there is no mercy from the assailant why then should be the same from you.
