The society we live in is not always a happy place. If you go through the news you can find news about some violent crimes or mishaps almost every day that claims human lives.
Dangers and threats are not new to humankind. Despite facing many dangers and threats in the stone age by the early man here we are today alive, breathing in flesh, taking births, and sharing the given births. All of this was only possible because our ancestors have survived by overcoming all those unfortunates.
Their survival is a kind of inspiration that is passed on to us through generations on how to survive. Humankind does almost anything for their race to survive, in this process some are guilty and some are victims.
Apart from these two categories you can choose a different category by not being guilty or falling prey to the guilty and becoming a victim by ensuring your own safety all the time.
Today’s generations come with many surprises, not always the good ones. Sometimes these surprises can harm you or take away your beautiful life. Ensuring your own safety must always be your priority for the survival of your generations.
Making sure that you are safe doesn’t happen by being watchful or avoiding threats, it is only achieved when you know how to find ways to eliminate the threats.
Where do you come across threats?
Threats are everywhere but to be very specific, well specifically speaking also threats are everywhere. Sometimes you are not even safe in your backyard. So being vigilant all the time can ensure your safety.
Visiting Unknown places
There may be many reasons both personally and professionally which sometimes depend on you visiting some unknown place for the first time.
In such cases doing a background check about the area and surroundings can be very helpful before you begin your journey. Most tourists and travelers face different kinds of threats very often because of not doing proper research about the place they are visiting. Theft, mugging, and in some cases sexual assault are the most common types of safety issues faced by many visitors in new places.
It is our responsibility too to look out for our own safety and security, it is not like we are all Lois Lane for the Man of Steel to come to our rescue in a terrorism-prone location.
Research about the place and its dangers like the places to avoid or else what can be the best time to visit a particular location, types of crimes, and crime-prone areas to have a safe trip.
While Traveling
Well, we cannot predict natural disasters that can cause accidents or unfortunate accidents, or a plane hijack while traveling. What we can do is be extra attentive while traveling in a threat-prone area.
If you are using a mode of public transport make sure that all your belongings are safe and avoid unnecessary interactions with people you find strange. You must have heard this countless times but still repeating it can cause no harm, Do not eat or accept any kind of food from strangers.
If you traveling solo or with a company in your vehicle try to look for the best routes which have access to basic resources in case you get stranded and don’t prefer routes that might be in risk-prone zones or routes with less mobility and no surveillance mostly in the nights. It is better to avoid such routes in daylight too.
If you still don’t trust this methodology try watching horror and crime thriller movies because in many movies all unwanted things happen in such passages only. After all, movies are mostly based on real-life experiences and real incidents modified and shown to the audiences.
Walking on the Streets
Imagine yourself taking a stroll on the streets in some known or unknown location to you or maybe in your neighborhood to enjoy the weather. But life isn’t always fair, there are different kinds of threats on the streets. For example, a lorry or a truck can run over you, or else someone might kidnap you for a ransom or your organs and the scariest one among them is sighting a psycho killer like in the movie series Saw.
There is nothing much we can do if we see a psycho killer but at least we can avoid other mishaps by staying sharp and attentive while enjoying the drizzles or a cool breeze. Try not to stroll in dark places which are not inhabitant and which doesn’t have surveillance.
Most teenagers and youth get excited when they came across a mysterious place. I know life is an adventure and everyone should experience the adrenaline rush but do you really want to risk it all just to click some snaps for your snapshot story.
In your Backyards
Most people say having a beautiful home is like staying in heaven without any worries. Many individuals feel very safe and secure while they are at their homes. Houses are believed to be foolproof to all kinds of threats and one of the secured known locations.
In my defense, I don’t think Dominic Toretto or the cast of Conjuring would agree with the above statement. But bombings and ghosts only happen to be in movies that can destroy homes and houses.
There are few threats that can take place even while you are in your house. Threats like thefts, homicide, and sometimes the house blowing up can happen and claim lives too on few occasions.
To make your house secured enough install CCTV surveillance and alarm systems which can scare off the intruders and giving you some protection. Install proper ventilation system and fire alarm systems too to avoid getting blown up.
Eliminating the Threats
There are many threats that need to be eliminated permanently but unfortunately, it is not humanly possible to do so. But we have other options which can at least eliminate them for time being in your surrounding environments making you feel safe and secure.
Staying vigilant, avoiding unnecessary risky businesses, staying attentive, and trusting the help of technology like CCTV surveillance and alarm systems can protect you from most of the threats which involve the only man-made threats, natural disasters are not to be trusted.
If you are Rich
Money, a well-cut designed and systematically printed paper only by the authorized can buy most of the things in the world. Money can even buy you the safety and security that you need.
Wealthy people and celebrities will need more protection than normal people. Even though they have life threats the governments cannot provide them with enough protection round the clock because of the limited manpower.
To overcome this problem most ultra-rich people and world-famous celebrities hire security professionals from the private security industry to fill up the blank and need. These private security professionals are highly trained and very skillful workers. They fit in all categories required for protecting their clients and assets even when the stakes are high. Private security professionals are very driven and hardworking professionals who do everything to protect their clients and their assets.
Along with rich and famous these private security professionals also works for multi-million revenue-generating corporate companies. Sometimes it is not only the people and their assets that are at risk, on few occasions data related to company secrets, employee data, project files, and organizations perimeter are also at risk. In such situations, private security professionals can be the key players in protecting a company and its future.
Along with the physical threats and intruders, private security professionals are well trained and highly skilled in giving protection from digital threats and unauthorized access. Private security is not only known for its physical protection, they have world-class security analysts and specialists to counter digital security breaches by creating firewalls and algorithms that can be very difficult to hack and access the company data.
With the manpower and strength of the private security professionals along with advanced technologies, most security breaches and threats can be eliminated and taken care of without causing any fluctuations in the timeline of an organization.
The world needs more and more time to become a safe haven for all the people. That is a fact which the humans must consider and realize that the world is not really a safe place in most scenarios. We cannot argue about the universal facts, likewise, humankind also cannot give up their ambitions and live like an object. Any act of survival is deemed to be a great journey, a journey which was started by our forefathers and their forefathers.
Surviving from different kinds of threats has been in our bloodlines from the beginning, hence humankind can survive almost any kind of threat by evolving with the nature of threats. Establishments of corporate offices all around the world need a security department that can help in their protection. The private security industry provides them with all the needed professionals for their security departments.
Like food, water, air, etc, communicating with each other is also a significant basic need that helps for the survival of the human race. Communication can play a vital role in many situations, through proper communication between the nations can avoid and stop wars even before they begin.
Even relationships are saved on many occasions with good communication and conversation between the partners.
How does anyone define communication?
Communication is a process through which a sender can communicate or share his message to the receiver in different modes consisting of various modules.
Communication can be a long paragraph or an abbreviation, text or symbol, emoji or gif, signs or signals everything is, in some nature, a kind of way to communicate and convey a message or information to others who are on the receiving end.
Communication in security
How can security personnel perform his duties when he doesn’t get any instructions?
Security personnel is blinded and mission less if there is no communication between them and their superiors. All the security personnel who are on security duty, either on the cross borders of a nation or at the entrance of a shopping complex can perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities only when there is someone to guide and command them about what is required from them.
Imagine a troop of soldiers got stuck in the middle of a battle like in the movie Saving Private Ryan or Fury. In both the movies they know that they are outnumbered compared to the enemy and yet there were no reinforcements sent to help. This was because they had no time to wait or communication channel to inform the superiors about the reinforcements.
The example itself cannot conclude the need and necessity for communication while on security duty.
There may be many other such instances in our history which the world may not be aware of where warriors and soldiers got killed and lost the fights because of no communication.
21st century of communication methods in security
Change is constant. Whoever said these words certainly had a great view and perspective about human nature and its capabilities for the future.
Science, science has made many breakthroughs. Radio signal transmissions to satellite transmissions are such a great turn of events that are achieved by science and technology in the past few decades.
War scenarios have changed drastically in today’s world with all the technological advancements.
Communication has become easier and very effective with many advanced technologies. Every household holds at least a handset to communicate with each other in their families and circle. In the army, troops are being deployed across countries and cross borders to maintain peace and harmony are working effectively without any possibilities of human errors.
Uses of Communication for the Private Security Department
You might have seen many times in the movies or come across security personnel contacting other personnel in senior positions to confirm the authorization of the entries in cases no entry pass with the entrants. Asking for permissions to allow the authorization or entry of a person or group into the premises is also a form of communication method used in security.
To deliver messages
Security personnel is often found with earpieces or a walkie-talkie in their hands. Outside the entrance of a corporate building, commercial building, or a luxurious home or hotel we encounter a security department who checks the credentials of the entrants.
This security personnel allows the entrants in the compounds only after confirming the authorization by sending and receiving messages from the inside. In case of failed communication either from the inside or from the outside, it can be a message of warning to the security department on the premises.
Through various communication channels like a walkie-talkie, handsets, earpieces, and in some cases CCTV surveillance, each channel can play the role of communication by delivering the messages.
To Inform the Duties and Responsibilities
Corporate buildings, commercial places, airports, hospitals, major events, public gatherings, and other festivities are mostly crowded all the time. To ensure a smooth functioning and a safe and secure environment in the entire surroundings, the security departments plan the security details.
All security personnel on duty are instructed about the roles and duties that are assigned to them to make sure that there is no confusion among the personnel. These instructions are designed plans and procedures of security policies.
Instructing the security staff about the policies is also a way to communicate with each other for ensuring a safe and secure perimeter.
To Warn about Threats
Most of you may have watched the movie 300 if not try to watch it. The 300 Spartans who fight the Persian army very bravely are defeated at the end because of no proper communication with the Spartan council and also because of communication (Information about the routes) from a traitor.
You might get an idea about what I’m talking about after watching the movie. For now, I won’t bother you with details and be a spoilsport.
If there is a security breach or a mishap in the perimeter, the guards running to inform the superiors to inform them about the possible threat and waiting for instructions can only lead to destruction and dangerous escalation.
All the efforts can go in vain if the security personnel are not able to warn others about the threats and terror on the premises. To inform others in advance you need an effective channel to communicate. See how useful proper communication can help the security department in the hour of need.
To Accompany the Emergency Response Team
I hope everyone says yes if I ask have you watched Titanic, a great love tale right. The music and the fireworks were lovely to watch in the climax.
How nice it would have been if there was another way to communicate other than fireworks. Accept it if you didn’t know that the fireworks were actually used as a signal for help. In any accident or mishap, emergency response teams play a vital role in rescuing the people. These response or rescue teams are coordinated and accompanied by the outside world with the use of communication.
Fireworks are a bright way of communication, but it was so sad to watch the ship sink than watching Rose throw the diamond necklace in the ocean. If only the Titanic had a communication channel to seek help or a proper emergency team to coordinate the rescue operations many more lives would have been saved and Jack would have had the door to himself till the boat comes back.
One’s misfortune should never become another man’s parody.
To Ensure Security Protocols and Policies
CCTV surveillance, fire alarms, and motion sensors are also part of communication means in the security detail. The role of these technologies can provide a wide range of possibilities to avoid any kind of unwanted situations in the proximity.
Security protocols and policies are planned and designed to ensure that the proximity is safe and secure. The above technologies allow the security staff to monitor the entire premises by sitting and staring at a screen. Few motion sensor cameras capture the motion of any moving object, and if the object is an unauthorized entry it sends out a caution alerting the security personnel to patrol the area to find out about the threat.
Fire alarms or smoke detectors are installed in many buildings these days. These systems are placed to detect any signs of fire or smoke to warn about the fire outbreak by sounding an alarm. Even slight changes in the temperature, above normal, can make these systems set off the alarms.
Along with the fire alarms and smoke detectors nowadays water sprinklers are also being installed to go off immediately in case of a fire.
With all the gadgets you have to ensure safety and security you must also have a plan where and which places require these installations. Security protocols and policies allow you to get an idea about how you are going to plan and design your security on the compound.
Impacts of communication
Stock markets, multi-billion dollars companies and projects, board members and shareholders, CEOs and employees, trades between nations, everyone and everything is dependent on some piece of information which is delivered to the respective receivers.
Movies, short films, motivational video speeches and songs, shorts stories, fictitious and non-fictitious books everything conveys a message along with entertainment.
Sports channels, news channels, weather reporting, business reports, national and international talks between world leaders always end with a result which is information and message.
Everything, literally everything in the world and across the galaxies is dependent on communication, even in space we try to find and communicate with other inhabitants on other planets which has the source of life.
Communication has been an essential part of our lives from the beginning of time not just after the human race was born.
Who knows, maybe some other planet is trying to communicate with us for a long time and away from zillion galaxies distance. Because of the space being infinite we have not yet received the message or else we did not comprehend the message yet even after receiving it. Let your brain keep guessing, it is also a form of communication to ensure that your awake and not in a dream state induced by some aliens after capturing you from this planet.
Times are changing, present situations around the world are very different from the times when the world was under the rule of kings and kingdoms.
With no technology and large armies at their disposal to protect them from outside threats, the only threats people faced during those periods were natural calamities and invasions. Times are not the same, the present world we live in is not the same anymore like good old days.
Civilization advancements in the process of evolution in the last couple of centuries gave rise to new threats. Terrorism and crime have a strong grip on many societies. Violent crimes, drug-related criminal activities, theft of valuable assets you can make a list of such rapidly growing crimes in a few minutes itself. And there are many other crimes that we are not aware of and different kinds of ways in which we can come face to face with a threat.
Many such reasons surround us, which is why security is never to be a neglected area.
Different from Public security
Unlike public security, which has access restrictions to many things and many protocols to follow with insufficient manpower can be a big headache to concentrate on the job and handle the situation well.
But the private security industry is a growth promising sector with more manpower and fewer protocols to follow. Being a private player in the security department your sole purpose will be to protect your clients and fulfill your duty. Private security professionals will always be in the forward positions while performing their duties.
Starting at the entrance, they are very vigilant on what is entering the compounds which are supposed to be under their protection detail. By checking and registering all the entries, not allowing any intruders or trespassers in their sight, taking their job descriptions very seriously private security professionals can be the right choice of security department that you want to lay your hands on.
Public security departments with very limited resources can only deal with security threats on small scale and take action mostly after the crime has taken place.
Monitoring and Maintaining order
Threats are of many kinds with many different shades, you can never guess from which direction that you are about to face a real threat that can put your life in danger. To prevent such threats and protect yourself from them everyone needs the best security department that they can lay their hands on.
There are many commercial places such as airports, hospitals, auditoriums, stadiums, schools, movie halls, shopping complexes, warehouses that need round-the-clock security supervision to avoid any kind of loss of life, property, and assets.
The public security department is not equipped with enough resources and the required manpower which makes it difficult to depend on them for all safety measures and security-related matters.
This allowed the private security industry to build its empires in all places around the world.
Characteristics of Private Security personnel
Many private security professionals are well-experienced players in the field of security. The main reason for this is that most of the private security industry employees are from military backgrounds or police departments or hard-core corporate security professionals.
The characteristics they possess make them a very potential candidate for the security profession to face any kind of potential threats. Traits present in them in the line of duty make them special. Few traits among them are, they are honest, hardworking, good judgment, and observance.
Honest is a trait that can be rare, not everyone is capable of focusing on work and deliver whatever they are asked of. Experience in the military makes them very loyal and honest towards the work they do.
Hardworking Their previous service itself proves to us how hard working they are. These private security professional are very focused while they are working making them best suitable for the role of security personnel.
Good judgmental Serving in the field for a long time helps the security professionals with an inbuilt gene to guess the kinds of threats that might occur. They are very at good at judging the crisis even before it takes place letting no harm come to the assets they protect on many occasions.
Observant With the kind of training they have already in the military and as police officers, they have the instincts of natural predators making them very lethal. Even in their sleep, they react very quickly to the slightest sounds they listen imagine how good they can be at observing the surroundings while they are fully awake and attentive to the work detail.
Strength of Endurance
To forge an object from a metal involves ore extraction, heating at high temperatures in a furnace, and hammering it hard to give a shape. When you look at an object obtained from a mineral you can see its elegance and also notice the hard work.
Private security professionals in a way are like those metal objects. Their strength to endure any kind of pain can be very remarkable. Security professionals who served in the Special Forces division are truly hardcore trained specialists.
They are extracted, melted in every way, and then hammered in all possible manners to obtain their true potentials like no common man can be able to relate to them.
Their strength of endurance can not only promise the best security, they can shine upon you like a ray of hope to face any kind of obstacles if you listen to their experiences in the field.
They can be your protection and also an inspiration in life.
What suits you best?
When the security professionals are on duty they perform it with utmost precautions. They plan everything for you. They lay the best-suited plan for your safety and security and they decide which can be the best route possible for you to move from place to place. They even select the type of transport vehicle that will be best for your safety and security measures.
Cars, Woah! Aren’t they really incredible? Private security personnel is very daring in the action. Provide them with cool gadgets and enough resources, even Achilles won’t be able to attack you with the private security personnel guarding you 24/7.
Let us get back to the cars, the automobiles in this generation are customized with everything that can provide you safety.
Bulletproofed windows that can withstand small handheld guns to armor-piercing rounds.

Sealed cabins which don’t allow any kind of chemical attacks inside the cars
Foam surrounded fuels tasks which lower the risks of explosion
Reinforced tries which can even run on flat tires with a maximum speed of 60 mph to escape from the dangers
Electric shock door handles set up with copper wires which electrocutes anyone who tries to open the door by force

Trusting the private security personnel for your security and protection in today’s world can bring you baskets bearing gifts in the form of peace and safe environments around you.
The glimpse of a beautiful girl can convey a lot of meanings and directs you with many confusing signals. To understand those signals you have to be the Cupid- the love god.
Like the gods who are immortal, normal people will not be able to do those kinds of celestial things, which are very impossible. As mortal beings, we will talk about few possible things which we can achieve possibly.
When you go shopping or to watch a movie at a commercial complex, the first person to greet you at the entrance is the designated security guard positioned at the entry of the complex.
Have you ever wondered, how does anyone come to a conclusion on how to station your guards in the correct positions?
What would be the best strategy for the security department to post their manned guards on the premises for security purposes?
Need for security
An increase in violent crimes and rapidly growing threats and risks are the unannounced hosts that are preying on human lives for many years. Many people still believe that their governments have enough manpower and resources with them to ensure the safety of the public. The reality is completely different in this globalized and technologically advanced world. Security and safety are a major concern for many nations because the governments’ manpower and resources are not sufficient.
These loopholes are encouraging many organized crimes in form of terrorism, security breaches, drug cartels, and other violent crimes. Just to make sure that all the public is in safe hands the private security industry saw the purpose, need, and demand. With the establishments of private security departments available it can be an easy task to ensure safety and security in many places.
But how well can these private security departments deliver their services be known are from their security staff positioning and stationed guards.
Best ways to secure any place
While planning on how to secure any place in the most effective way, the security department which is assigned with the security duty must always predict the possible outcomes. Try to predict all kinds of threats that might happen or occur on the premises. A good god-like prediction can lead the security department to plan the unpredictable necessary actions that can be taken in case of any emergencies.
The first step in the following process can be achieved by planning the best strategy to position your security guards.
After the technology has clouded in many areas and roles with their performances being good compared to humans, people started believing by installing the CCTV and remote sensors alone can make a place secured enough to avoid all kinds of threats.
CCTV installation on the premises can be a wise idea, but you cannot just ignore the fact that the things which can be performed by humankind cannot be made possible with the help of technology, well at least for now I suppose.
Instead of keeping your all hopes and investing everything in the technology to make you feel safe, try to assign those duties to a qualified professional who can deliver the work very sincerely and keep you safe and sound all the time.
Qualified professionals in the security department to secure a place are the manned guards or security guards you can say. They can be the most trustworthy security detail you can get to do the work. They are trained, they are qualified, they have skills, they can act according to the situations, they can improvise, they are quick to respond.
What more qualities does any technology can add to replace them?
Where and how?
According to researchers, there is a 34% of high chance that the threats can knock on your front doors mostly, and a 24% of chance from the first-floor windows. With the help of the given data, you can get an idea of where to station your guards in more numbers and the places where to concentrate more.
Main entrance
Most professional security guards are trained and physically fit. You can pick among them based on their effective ways, methods to approach a threat, and importantly their skills in accessing the situation well. Security staff possessing these skills can be effective at guarding the main entrance. With the CCTV already placed on the premises, it can help you to pick the areas that are not being monitored by the technology and places that can be secured by the guards on duty.
Rest of the premises
There is another very effective way to make your security system more successful at performing its roles and duties. Instead of just making the guards be a standstill at one position, employ some security professional who can act as mobile patrol guards. These patrol guards can cover more ground by making rounds from one place to other.
Stationing your security staff at one place can do no good because threats don’t announce themselves before coming. They are just like other trespassers who are unwanted and uninvited guests trying to enter the campus. You need to be ready to counterattack them and send them back to their nests.
Checkpoints
Properly organized security patrols with checkpoints at appropriate places can reduce risk exposure to a greater extent. All the checkpoints that are present must have easy access for the security guards and patrol guards only. Any intruder who thinks of entering the place must get an idea of how tight the security system is and they will be deterred by the system.
To be more successful
Safety of the security department
The security department should ensure not only the place is secured, but also the security guards and patrols guards are safe. What good would it be if you have a strong security system with able professionals but no gear or equipment provided to them? Safety of the security guards and patrol guards is also a key way to make your place more safe and secure. Install security tracking systems on the premises to ensure the safety of the security department. Provide them with necessary equipment which can motivate them.
Compromising the security system at any place with more footfall or no footfall can be a foolish way to make people know that you are ignorant about the current situations around the world. Making smart choices is easy for everyone, you just have to be wise about your choices and the chances you are willing to take to make sure that you are safe and also the place around you is secure enough for every individual on that premises.
People assume that nothing bad is going to happen to them as long as there is the presence of God in our world. You are always right about the things that you think are right. Nobody has the right to prove that your statements are wrong. But remember this, even “God helps those who help themselves.”
Assessment is key:
The best way is to position your guards should be based on the risks that you need to reduce. So, involve security experts to carry out an assessment of the security risks of the premises/facility/business. The security experts can give you accurate risk exposure of your facility, which helps you determine the security guarding staff you need. You can also compliment the guarding deployment with technological measures for better results.
Neither nature which made human life possible nor, the almighty who created mankind would surely not be happy with the state the world is now. Their reasons for the creation of human-life kind have not been serving its purpose in the right path, I think.
Evolution, civilization, modernization, and globalization different transformations through eons have witnessed many major changes both geographically and demographically.
Even after all this, even after mankind performed many splendors, invented many wonders, developed many infrastructures, we are just trying to crumble everything apart with our differences in different ideologies and opposed propagandas.
Ideologies against regions, religions, economic and socio-political communions, habitual compulsions have all led the nations around the world to face different kinds of terrorism in different regions from many different periodicals throughout history, till today.
Terrorism, the word which you think you know a lot about, yet you belittle the dangers and chaos it is causing.
What is terrorism defined as?
An act of violent force used to exploit and threaten the harmony and structural living of people, the ideologies and beliefs they believe in, to achieve various propagandas with the use of various methods and strategies which is and which has caused harm to the living and stumbling the non-living.
According to the experts from the defense and security departments around the world, the term terrorism is a classified division into four major groups based on their ideologies and propaganda.
In India, we have all the four major groups bases and which are functioning for long periods throughout history.
Ethno-Nationalism Terrorism
Ethno-nationalism terrorism groups are formed and engaged in violent acts of terror with the agenda of acquiring the status of a separate state within India, the status of an independent state from India. There are tensions raised between the states from North-East India (seven sister states) among themselves and with the central government. Many disputes have erupted between these parties to satisfy their propaganda since the independence. Even in the south region of India, we have Tamil- Nationalists who also believe in the same ideology of ethno-nationalism terrorism.
BLT (Bodo Liberation Tigers) and ULFA (United Liberation Front of Assam) are two of the major ethno-nationalism groups found in the northeast region of our nation.
In January of 2007, ULFA killed 62 Hindi-speaking migrants from Bihar. There are many instances where the ULFA has killed people from Bihar, but this one seemed a more notorious crime committed by the ULFA.
Religious terrorism
These are commonly known terrorism groups for all people across the globe because of their violent crimes on regular basis all around the planet. This group focuses on forming religious imperatives, one specific religious group against one or more religious groups. People believe that only Islamic religious groups are part of this type of terrorism. Well, at present that might be a true acknowledgment on some basis, but in fact, other such religious groups have practiced religious terrorism.
Most of the nations across the globe feel that they are the major targets and victims of violent acts of terror against them. Many terrorist organizations took birth following the ideology of religious terrorism. ISIS, JeM, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Al-Qaeda, LRA (The Lord’s Resistance Army) many names, many regions, many organizations, all with the same use and methods of force to intimidate the normalcy.
9/11 terrorist attack on American soil were a series of attacks by hijacking four commercial planes. Two of them were crashed into World Trade Centre and one flight was crash-landed at Pentagon and the last which was believed to be targeting the Capitol building was crash-landed in the fields. This operation was planned and carried out by the Al-Qaeda terror group.
26/11 terrorist attack in Mumbai was also a series of attacks that were carried out by 10 members of the Let terrorist organization. The attacks lasted for four days at 12 different locations in Mumbai with shooting and bombing few places killing 174 people and wounding 300 persons. These two attacks are considered as the major impacted terrorist attacks in their respective nations.
Left-Wing Terrorism
A terror group that follows the ideology of communism. Left-Wing terrorism or what you call Naxalism or Maoism believes that economic ideologies and socio-political structures are exploiting humankind, which is why they use revolution as a means to commit violent crimes to restore the socialist state in the regions.
Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, some parts of Telangana are major hubs for these groups.
Maoist attack on former CM of Andhra Pradesh N.Chandra Babu Naidu is an example of Left-Wing Terrorism presence in India.
Narco-terrorism
Narco-terrorism is proving to be a major concern for India. Narco-terrorism is a group that creates illegal narcotic contrabands like heroin, cocaine, opium to supply and the money that is procured by selling these contrabands is used for funding the terrorist organizations to carry out various operations and missions.
Although there is high security across the borders the smugglers are finding new routes to transport the drugs. Pakistan is currently playing a major role in making and supplying drugs into the Indian borders from Gujarat, Punjab, before the Uri bomb blast from Kashmir and Srinagar too.
Indian politicians in power also feel that narco-terrorism is growing its methods and becoming a major threat to the youth of our nation. In a recent press meet, Central Home Minister of India said that the Pakistan terror groups are targeting the local backward Muslim youth for their operations in circulating the drugs in India and misleading them to join the terror groups.
The drug cartels from Pakistan and Afghanistan are using the coastal line of Gujarat to enter the drugs into India. In the last year about 2,000 kgs of heroin worth 6000 crores were seized by the Indian officials at the coastal borders.
Is there a solution to contain terrorism?
Many nations face this serious problem of terrorism in their own backyards. Terrorism is spreading its operations and grip over many major cities in the world like a plague or like the recent pandemic (Covid-19).
SATP – South Asia Terrorism Portal has listed around 180 terrorist organizations which were operating for the past 20 years from Trans-National terror networks. Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan are among the terror networks that are focused on attacking the stability and harmony in India. Currently, India has a ban on 38 terrorist organizations under the first schedule of the UAPA Act (Unlawful Activities Prevention Amendment Act), 1967.
As of 2012, many listed terror groups in the SATP list were also banned by America and European Union.
Although this has been a major concern for many societies, to eradicate terrorism, they are finding it very difficult to find the right plan of action that can put an end to terror groups and their operations. In the short while, there is none, it can be hard to achieve that target but in the long run, all nations altogether can find a solution to stop them. All the powerful nations can see to it by cutting their resources and stopping their means of funds, tracking, tracing, and destroying their bases.
For many decades terrorism has claimed many human lives, destroyed many people’s dreams.
With all the business expansions, easy means of transportation, students going aboard for everywhere higher education, migration for jobs have given plenty of reasons to enter a country’s borders without raising suspicion in the eyes of security departments at the cross border checking.
People must realize that threats are present, nobody can be very sure of their safety and security all the time. All that we can do is be prepared for the worst. There is a lifeline in this too although the manpower of the government security department is not sufficient the rise of the private security industry and its enough manpower can be a viable option to protect the treats, at least internally.

Who are heroes? Who are superheroes? These are not million-dollar questions to answer by stressing our brains. A person, whosoever it may be, anyone who puts themselves in the forward position at difficult times to protect other’s lives by risking their own life is all heroes and superheroes.
We don’t live in a world where the DC’s Justice League or Marvel’s Avengers are part of, who are going to come to the rescue of the public and save the world from the great villains like Darkseid and Thanos. Those are all fictional worlds with many fictional superheroes who keep the public safe from dangerous threats.
But when we get into reality the definition of the words heroes and superheroes are not so much different from the fictional world. They are described as mere humans with qualities and capabilities, who sworn to protect other’s lives in the line of duty. And when we discuss of such heroes in our world, there are many of them, with a count in members and strength in the force who can even actually make Troy win the Trojan War in a few couples of days.
The real heroes
The security threats which we face are very much different from the threats of the multiverse universe. Violent criminal offenses, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and terrorism, are actual threats, threats that are the reason for claiming many innocent human lives. To protect the general public from these kinds of threats we have soldiers in the Armed forces, Air Force, and Navy who patrols different kinds of borders of their respective nations. Police departments who work for the harmony and smooth functioning of a nation by monitoring and maintaining order inside the borders, on the streets are also our heroes.
Apart from the universe of government-sanctioned missions and heroes working on the side of government, we have other heroeswho work in a different timeline in the same multiverse as security professionals for the corporate sector’s security department. These heroes are part of the fast-growing private security sector in the global economies.
