ISLAMABAD- The so-called strict security measures 'shrewdly' adopted in the Federal Capital may possibly lead to  'serious security lapse' more or less disastrous than the Marriott's tragedy besides resulting in public's frustration and loss of their precious time. But ignoring the public sufferings for the time being, the security strategy in itself has the rips, which might, potentially pave way for the culprits to penetrate into what is often trumpeted as the 'foolproof' security. Apparently, the two-pronged security strategies adopted by the Islamabad Capital Territory Administration (ICT) and the Capital Police focuses on lining up the vehicles plying in the city by placing barricades at the roadsides to restrict traffic and banning entry of heavy vehicles, especially the dumpers trucks, into the Capital. It took this scribe more than ten minutes to reach Faizabad from Shamsabad due to the traffic jams caused by the barricades to check the vehicles. At the barricade, four policemen, two on either side had to watch people sitting inside the vehicles as it slow down. Surprisingly, the policemen were neither carrying any sort of equipment nor they were coming nearer to any vehicle. I wondered whether our vigilant police force, being a silent, stationary spectator, would be able to bring the culprits to book in this way. One can understand that purchase of latest and costly security devices from abroad takes time, yet deploying at least two sniffer dogs at every check post would not be so expensive. These dogs have established their reputation for sniffing explosives and other banned materials. The city police administration has also banned the entry of light and heavy trucks and dumpers in the Capital after the Marriott tragedy. Now it seems as the dumpers have been dubbed as terrorists, as they can load car, jeep or some other light vehicle with explosives and can take advantage of the slackness of security personnel who are not focusing on the movement of trucks, dumpers. Besides the security measures adopted after the deadly Marriott blast, are seemingly unworkable and ineffective, the same has also added to the public sufferings. Police have started checking hundreds of trucks, dumpers, oil tankers and other vehicles at various entry points of the capital. The blockade is expected to play havoc with the residents of the city in terms of traffic jams that would result into delay in supply of food, oil and other commodities. The scarcity of commodities would soar up the prices of daily use commodities thus making it beyond the purchasing limit of general public. The orders city administration issued some three days ago, reads that no such aforementioned vehicle be allowed to enter the Capital without permit. However, after the lapse of more than three days, the administration has failed to devise some sort of mechanism for issuing these permits. As a result, thousands of heavy vehicles have accrued to the entry points of the Capital and supply of food items, diesel and petrol etc has been totally halted. But the question regarding devising a mechanism to cope with the situation emerged after Marriot blast is yet to be answered.
