On Sunday evening while at Panaji’s Kadamba Bus Terminal to board the shuttle service to Mapusa, what was witnessed was so very chilling and horrifying. An infuriated mother with a 10-year-old daughter was fuming and running all over in search of the thug who molested her little girl. The mother and the little girl had boarded a bus and while the mother stepped out to buy a bottle of water, a maniac got into bus and brazenly molested the girl and ran away.
It is sickening that such appalling things are happening in broad daylight and that too in public places. For the little girl, that trauma encountered may be a lifelong scar that she may never forget.
The increasing varied types of crimes should be a matter of concern. We all need to be alert and cautious at all times against such heartless and crude culprits. Safety of all and specially the defenseless little children is paramount. The authorities must do all in their power to prevent such serious crimes and track down such culprits to ensure they feel the full force of the law.
