The first meeting of the India Today Board of Experts on Security and Terror finds the Government's response sorely wanting and anti-terror strategy yet to take off.
Turn your concern into action. Five simple things you can do now, that can make a significant impact in our War on Terror:
1. Watch The Police
Be part of a resident's initiative to visit your local police station and check whether they have the requisite facilities, enough manpower and equipment to meet the challenge.
2. Be Well Prepared
Undergo a first-aid training course and a drill on how to deal with terrorists. Check with your civic authorities where to go. If they don't know, tell us.
3. Proof Of ID
Start a campaign to have every citizen register under a national ID card system and be willing to produce it when asked by proper authorities.
4. Vote Criminals Out
Take a pledge not to elect a candidate with a criminal track record and actively canvass against such persons.
5. Pay Your Fines
Instead of bribing officials, pay the fine if you are penalised for any offence.
We bring together stories, videos and pictures on terror attacks across the nation.
India Reacts
The prime purpose of the terrorists is to shatter the peace and unity of the country. The only way to defeat them is by defeating their mindless purpose-- stand with determined resilience with the people of the country irrespective of communal, linguistic and regional barriersn.

Much has been spoken by the leaders, but no concrete work has been done so far. The ministry should not be headed by any politician but by some retired police or preferably some military official. Shailendra Vikrant ,Chandigarh
