Here is the picture of a design drawn for Monday.
Gold chain snatching has become a growing menace in Chennai. Rise in gold prices are also partly responsible for this.
Many women and men are continuing to lose their gold chains and other jewelery to daring daylight snatchers.
There are so many such cases reported each and every day. The common factor is women walking alone on deserted roads. Even if they were to be accompanied by their husbands, it does not deter these dare devils.
Men on bike watch women who wear gold chains and approach them as if to enquire about some vague address and commit this crime.
The trauma of such incident apart, many complaints to the police have not led to recovery of jewelery nor do the culprits get caught.
How can we stop this menace?
Only one solution can be there.
The women and men should cease to wear gold. There will be no gold to snatch so this crime will come down if all women unite in taking this precaution for their own safety.
How can the government or police help in protecting an individual's gold chains? Also how careful can anyone be all the time for their valuables. This will result in some kind of paranoia.
It is the individuals who can definitely rectify this situation.
Mahalakshmi.
