Parmeshwara,

Wish you all the best, like you many of them have promised.

What about bribes will increase or remain the same...if policemen did not take bribes at least people will change themselves to obey the law...
At least give them better salaries to fill their stomachs than we paying to fill their pockets.....technology will not help people follow rules and expect Lisa loss of lives.....

25acre land for police training?@#$
