how Pulwama attack is a manmade disaster
Answers
Answer:
K Unnikrishnan, the father of 26/11 hero Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, Friday said India needs to take concrete action to curb terror attacks, instead of hollow discussions and "political surgical strikes".
Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan had attained martyrdom fighting terrorists on the third day of the Mumbai terror attacks.
"What India needs is concrete action (to check terror attacks) and not hollow discussions and political surgical strikes," Unnikrishnan told PTI here.
He, however, said India should restrain from provoking the enemy if it cannot take precautionary measures or a total offensive approach.
Forty CRPF personnel were killed Thursday in one of the deadliest terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir when a Jaish-e-Mohammed suicide bomber rammed a vehicle carrying over 100 kg of explosives into their bus in Pulwama district.
He said such attacks can take place any time and emphasised that India should be prepared to face them.
"When you are confronting your enemy or adversary, you should be prepared more than cent per cent to face repercussions. You cannot take 2,500 plus policemen in a single convoy without sealing the entire route, at least the highway," he said.
"And above all if someone is ready to sacrifice his or her life for a reasonably convinced cause, such incidents are bound to happen," he added.
Replying to a query, Unnikrishnan said the "TRP hungry media" should be banned from conducting panel discussions and editorials on security matters.
Answer:
Man-made disasters are the result of human intent, error, or as a result of failed systems. They can be divided into categories such as terrorism, technological hazards, transportation hazards and environmental accidents.
- Terrorism is defined as an act that is violent or dangerous to human life, with the intent of furthering political or social objectives. The threat of terrorism affects all communities around the world.
- Terrorists, both Domestic and International, have demonstrated they have the knowledge and capability to strike anywhere in the world.
- Domestic Terrorism involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are directed at elements of our government or population without foreign direction.
- International Terrorism involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are foreign-based and/or directed by countries or groups outside the United States or whose activities transcend national boundaries.
- At least 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) paramilitary troopers were killed in the attack
- Adil Ahmed Dar, 20, has been identified as the suicide bomber
- The Indian government has already initiated a diplomatic offensive against Pakistan after the attack.
