BUT this is reality !!

(click on pics for full view)

Last year two days before Diwali, 3 bombs rocked off Delhi. One of the bombs was placed at Sarojini Nagar Market besides a cylinder.

The above pictures are of Hauz Khas Main Market (situated less than 5 kms from Sarojini Nagar Market) taken 2 days before Diwali (i.e. 19th Oct).

(1) shows a proper 14.2 Kg cylinder used by an encroached momo vender. (for the rule, its illegal to set a stall even with a stove on pavements)

(3) another cylinder kept adjacent to the one shown in pic 1.

(2)Delhi Police’s Booth @ Hauz Khas Main Market (at less than 50m from those two cylinders).
(4) front view of Delhi Police booth.
(5) oh! I was missing somebody? Who!! policewale, obviously. This pic is just to show that Hauz Khas is one of those areas in Delhi who have brave policemen and not those with fat tummy…it’s a safe place!!

Honestly speaking Hauz Khas Main Market is one of the safest markets in the whole Delhi…it has everything…(A) concrete barricades in front of Police Booth, (B) many policewale dande with torch at top and high clarity mirror at bottom, which makes an angle of 165 degrees with the danda, basically for the use of car-bottom checking, (C) metal detectors (surprised), (D) a loudspeaker above the Police Booth which screams its dutiful words 24*7 and lastly (E) a lot…really a lot of policemen…yeah…sometimes the number of policemen is even greater than the number of market visitors). Those policemen are also enabled with big huge walkie-talkies and also smart cool mobilephones. (so stay away from them! they can do a string operation on you).

You may think anything (gud or bad or whtever)…BUT this is reality!!

Safe Diwali to all…cheers
