Nuclear shield for India’s Parliament

It is a laudable decision by the Indian government to provide safety shield against nuclear attacks and use of other weapons of mass destruction to the Parliament. In view of the fact that the neighboring countries are testing all types of long-range missiles with nuclear capabilities, it is only the right thing to provide adequate safety and security measures to protect the Parliament House in New Delhi. Cost of such a provision is immaterial.

It is reported that the security plan includes building shielded bunkers to protect against radiation exposure, and a state-of-the-art Air Filtration equipment to filter-out chemicals unleashed is a nuclear, biological and chemical weapons attack. The nation has already witnessed terrorist strike on the Parliament in 2001.

Nation expects an early decision and implementation of the scheme at the earliest.
