Disturbing calls
The prevalence of disturbing calls is a disgrace which demands immediate remedial action. The aim of phone stalkers, 'to make friendship' or even to find a spouse, is an indictment on the institution of arranged marriage and threatens to unravel the moral fibre of our nation.
I have been a victim of numerous phone stalkers, including one who threatened my personal safety at all hours of the night.
Phone stalkers must not be celebrated through films like “Wrong Number”. Such depictions endorse this disturbing and disruptive behaviour. We must acknowledge that advancement in communications comes at a high social cost and implement measures to eradicate phone stalkers from the landscape, once and for all.
