We cannot trust strangers anymore

In the past, life was not burdened with so many problems. People used to go out, travel from one place to another in a care-free manner, feeling safe and secure. During journeys they used to make new friends, exchanged addresses and shared food and drinks. Nowadays we have to be always on guard, unable to trust unknown people because so many untoward incidents are happening. We have to warn our children to remain distanced from strangers and after the incident at Amin Bazar, we have to tell them not to go in groups anywhere. In former days, many school children, even some in class VI or VII used to go to school riding bicycles but now it is unthinkable because miscreants will hijack the cycle, killing or seriously injuring the child. The condition of our society is deteriorating fast. If nothing is done to improve it, the outcome will be disastrous.
