This does not justify their act but what we have to understand is that more awareness efforts have to be taken to make them understand the reason for testing them during night.* This was what I meant!* Even a sensible police officer will accept that such measures have to be taken during the day & not during the night as it may trigger panic among people. We have to understand psychology behind it before concluding that I am a ‘Jagirdar’.* I have never claimed to have supreme authority over the Constituency. Everyone has to follow Govt instructions.*Generally people always listen to the local representatives in this decentralised system of governance & even my efforts are towards easing govt’s efforts
