A SECURITY THREAT RIDING THE TWO-WHEELER:

The two-wheeler without petrol! An engine based vehicle like a bicycle! The two-wheeler in the hands of all the people! These were the notions which were emerged during the introduction of electric two-wheelers. The manufacturers promised of an emergence of a developed cycle with engine in form of electric two-wheeler. But, is the vehicle really people friendly? The vehicle in a way has brought a security threat along with its marketing. The vehicle does not need any licensing and documents which leads to a number of security problems to the country. The minors who are not qualified to get even a driving license are riding this vehicle with immaturity which is causing huge accidents. Moreover, the vehicle is based on the electric battery which can switch off at any time because of low charging. Such sudden shut downs of these vehicles are increasing traffic jams in the metropolitan cities. Moreover, the country is facing a severe crisis of scarcity of electricity due to low rain and water storing facilities which has also lessened the production of electricity. The government is striving hard even to provide consumer electricity and is regularly increasing the load shedding and power cuts. Then, is it really possible to meet the demand of such commercial electricity if the sector is electrified? The most severe consequence of these vehicles is of the increase of crimes. Triple riding has become most common among these vehicles which are the violation of the traffic rule. It is further helping the activities of the gangsters who ride in numerously engaging in the criminal activities like murders, chain snatching etc. The recent terrorist attacks witnessed the fixing of bombs in the cycles which will surely perpetuate soon to these vehicles, as they are of high speed and easily mobile. Moreover, these vehicles can be easily driven without much energy at good speed from place to place, which helps the criminals for a fast escape. The vehicle has converted into a boon for the criminals, as the riders even do not need any licensing or address proof. The police and security providers even can not trace these vehicles, as they do not include even a number plate. The criminal riders can not be caught or traced, as there are no licensing and address proofs. Though it is called as an advanced cycle, the vehicle includes the engine which separates it from the group of cycle. Moreover, the rider need not even to peddle or use strength to ride this vehicle. It acts so naturally as similar as a Scooty run through petrol. Inspire of these disadvantages, a question arises that, is the government sleeping? Certainly yes, a separate department RTO is working as the regulating controller of the vehicles and their registrations. Are not RTO eyes looking at these vehicles? Now a days, these electric vehicles are out numbered through out the country, as they are easily accessed, purchased and utilized. But also, the department seems least concerned about these vehicles. Moreover, the vehicles can be even bought by a non Indian without any restrictions as they are no need of a record or document. India as a third world country facing a severe crisis of criminal activities like smuggling, terrorism, murders etc which can be carried out with an easiest mobility through these vehicles. Why can’t the government still understand the security trouble? Is government neglected of security? The country is witnessing a simultaneous and consistent terrorist attacks from the last decade, among which the terrorists are using an intelligent method of being inside the country as commons and fulfilling their brutal aims. These vehicles though seem so simple are helping such activities for an easy travel and mobility through out the country without any permit or licensing. At least the government and the RTO department must wake up now before the disaster takes place by providing a license facility to the electric vehicles and keeping records of the riders of these vehicles with the details of their exact address and identity proofs as equal with the other two-wheelers. A strict rule must also be brought out for the age limit of the riders also. Because, it is better to make prevention before the occurrence of destruction.
