This is a neglection of the past, sitting cool, DESPITE NOTIFYING IN THE EDITORIALS OF "Marine Waves" monthly maritime newsletter. Those in authority and those who ought to act, taking citizen's voice in a lighter vein. I did express my anguish in the way things are taken lightly. It is not the land border alone that is to be protected from national external threats, while we have a long coastline. Awakening needed by all concerned to protect our selves from commotion and external threats. Indian Coastguard to be empowered with all rights to protect without yielding to state pressure and the intelligentia to be always vigil, with activeness and alertness to nip in the bud. Prevention is better than cure. Coastal area were neglected resting on the state administration while the differences existed between politicians of tamilnadu state, without national integrit. The nation as a whole CENTRAL GOVERNMENT should not shirk its BASIC RESPONSIBILITY TO VIEW ALWAYS THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTRY WITH UTMOST COMMITMENT AND RESPONSIBILITY. responsibility
