Is our security system weak and negligent? It is quite dismaying to hear a mentally retarded person enters into state assembly hall today morning bypassing three tier security cordon. The security even fails to notice when he is breaking the Assembly doors. Later police have taken him into custody and identified as Ashok Reddy, living at Gourishankar Nagar near Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police, Ashok Reddy was mentally ill since some time and he left his house around 5 am today morning. Then he managed to enter into Assembly building using Gate No:1. He broke the doors of the AP state assembly and was found sitting calm in the seats meant for MLAs. DCP said that an inquiry will be conducted into this matter and action will be taken on those police who fails to notice Ashok Reddy entering into Assembly building.

The question is if a mentally retarded person can enter into the assembly building giving slip to three tire security deployed around the building, then what if some antisocial element tries the same? This incident reveals how negligent our security systems are.
