Imagine the Governor of a State putting the responsibility of STOPPING attackers with guns squarely on the shoulders of CIVILIANS while making excuses after excuses as to why it's impossible for security agencies to do their jobs.
Civilians picking up arms to defend themselves should be the last resort, and NOT the first line of defence.
If it takes two hours to get to a village, set up a security CHECKPOINT closer to the village, or simply, station a few Policemen and soldiers inside the community.
Useless Governors like this one should stop blaming their people for getting killed and kidnapped.
