New Delhi: Amid massive outrage over the brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old girl in a moving bus in Delhi, Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Wednesday announced a series of steps to prevent the recurrence of such crimes.

Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, the Home Minister said all buses and auto-rickshaws driven by unverified drivers shall be impounded by police.

Further, drivers’ photographs and other details will be displayed in all public transport vehicles along with helpline numbers, Shinde said.

Also, all buses will have to ensure there is enough light inside and all commercial vehicles will have to keep light on during the night.

The minister further announced that all PCR vans will be equipped with GPS.

As regards punishment, Shinde said a maximum of life imprisonment can be given in such cases.

MR SHINDE, PLEASE CANCEL SECURITY COVER TO ALL POLITICIANS. IF THEY DONT FEEL SAFE..LET THEM RESIGN. LAWMAKERS DO NOT ENJOY SPECIAL SECURITY IN THE CONSTITUTION OVER WHAT IS EXTENDED TO INDIAN CITIZENS. THIS NONSENSE WILL STOP ONLY IF POLITICIANS AND THEIR DAUGHTERS HAVE THE SAME SECURITY AS ANY OTHER INDIAN CITIZEN. KARMIK

first of all these measures (identity cards, light in bus etc) are a joke ! why do they assume that the next rape will also be in a bus or autorickshaw ??? second measures have to be enforced, which will never happen in a shy place like India. These politicians have to loose their loved ones in a similar way to understand and enact stringent laws. Much tougher laws have to be put in place to combat such horrendous crimes. Hanging the culprits is too small a punishment. Their organs should be castrated and they should be stoned to death.

Why don`t we learn from past, we are reactive in nature, we will act only when some thing bad nasty has happend. Mr Shinde will make Delhi Safer who will make other places safe, check news on such incidents in recent past. Take some action which will generate fear on people`s mind.

These measures are not sufficient. This will never reduce the crime as such shameful acts. Only stringent punishment that too at a right time will help to reduce it. Ministers need to first have a look at the pending rape cases and take quick action. Not only this case but all accused in the rape cases should be punished. No mercy on any grounds should be given to them.

How can Mr.Shinde said that the maximum punishment for such crime should be life imprisonment no it is much less for these culprits it should be death penalty atleast, if the government or police can`t punish them then handover these monsters to public for justification and let the women of Delhi to punish.

Its a shame to our country law and order that we don’t able to protect women in countries capital delhi. As mr shushil kumar shinde gave guidelines for the buses only.but what about tha rape cases which were happened in cabs and in the closed rooms.as a case in which three law students were arrested and dholakuan rape case ..which also effected the life of the women.and what about the cases which took palace in the other parts of countries where media is not this much active.i request our polititions to make an effective law to protect the women in whole country.its a good initiative to start fast track courts but punishment should be cruel enough that every one think 1000 time to do all this..and please don’t take this matter for the political benefit..
