Bring the stalkers to justice
The government should take punitive action against the stalkers immediately by detecting and punishing the actual culprits. This is totally intolerable and has to be dealt with an iron hand. Capital punishment should be given to the perpetrators, and at the same time the victims and their families should be compensated financially which is to be paid by the perpetrators or their guardians. This should be monitored by the law enforcing agencies. As a student of law I suggest a few judicial magistrates be immediately appointed in each district for quick disposal of the cases. We need to amend our law in this regard to ensure that the punishment would be the most severe. It seems that the stalkers' parents or guardians are not aware of their children's day-to-day activities. In this case, I want to suggest that the govt. and the authorities concerned hold the guardians of the stalkers to account also. Moreover, the various agencies of the govt. should arrange campaign programmes about the fate of the stalkers, after their punishment, as a warning to other young mischief mongers. Awareness programmes should also be organised to protest eve-teasing. Stalkers are so desperate that they don't bother to kill the guardians or protesters. It has to be ensured that nobody supports the stalkers. The government should think about it seriously and we all should say "NO" to eve-teasing.
