Maoists shocking attack on poll booths

Voters in Bihar Jharkhand,Chattisgarh and Orissa were in for a rude shock. Just watching the news was shocking for me. What kind of times are we living in.Here we are asking the nation to vote. You are responsible for the kind of government you have,don't complain,go ahead make the right decision,exercise your right to VOTE.
The voters who had to face the bullets of these naxals might curse the day they thought to vote."Maoists kill 18,loot EVMs,attack booths,block roads." read the headlines of today.What is the level of security in our country.After the terror attacks in mumbai,it was said that we have to change the security system,we have to take things seriously.But what has been taken seriously? What can be done to ensure safety of our people?
