The ever increasing number of kidnapping cases in the city has got everyone startled, annoyed and confused. The children, who have been protesting against kidnapping and other related crimes aimed at them for the past one year, would like to know the reason behind the society being so insensitive. The abduction of Kislay on the 21st of Jan. 2005 was made into a national issue by the tiffin-boycott movement of the students. Similarly, the call for keeping Patna open on Sunday, 14th of August 2005 was another step towards sensitizing the masses. Then, after the abduction of Golu, a community fast by 25lakh people of Patna on the 25th of April 2006 was proposed.
Quite sadly though, with the onset of the New Year, another innocent child, Nirmalendu Prakash of class 9, studying in D.B.A. has been kidnapped leaving his friends and all the students of Patna helpless and wondering, “What else shall we do?”, “How can we make the society more sensitive towards the issues of children?”
In this time of sadness, prayers seem to be the only recourse and the children have been continuously praying for the speedy release of their friend.
