Delhi blastThe ominous high-density explosion in Delhi is a pointer to what some outfits have in mind — to spoil the peace in the country (Front page, November 11). There should not be a gallimaufry, and fair and transparent action is the need of the hour.Mani Nataraajan,ChennaiThere cannot be an iota of doubt of the hand of terror in this tragedy. Operation Sindoor gave one a glimmer of hope that terrorists would be on the back foot. But their nefarious designs cannot be predicted. It is imperative that the Centre and States and the public are vigilant at all times.S. Ramakrishnasayee,ChennaiThe tragic loss of lives underscores the need for stronger security and intelligence coordination. However, it is equally important that our response to terrorism remains rooted in unity and justice, avoiding any form of communal polarisation. Senseless acts of violence must not be allowed to erode our shared values of peace and resilience.Nagarajamani M.V.,HyderabadIt is a shock that there has been a loss of lives. Robust bureaucratic support and political will are needed to secure our citizens.Manas Agarwal,Shahjahanpur, Uttar PradeshThe public is not naive anymore. People across social and economic backgrounds do not seek political theatre or chest-thumping nationalism. They seek assurance that their safety is not compromised and that the truth will not be buried under headlines and hashtags. If India aspires to global leadership, it must prove that accountability and transparency are its strongest weapons. Security cannot be reduced to a narrative tool. It is time the government recognises that citizens now expect facts, not rhetoric; clarity, not symbolism.Aditya Das,Bhowali, UttarakhandPublished - November 12, 2025 12:24 am IST
