A user asked, “Is the army allowed to raise hands on civilians?”
Another user said, “Sadly, our beloved Indian army has to intervene to control these pests internally rather than focusing just on the enemies across the border. Wish we could have better enforcement of rules of land by the state police and punish offenders more aggressively.”
“I don’t call this road rage at all , these stupid wrong-way drivers are on a suicide mission , but more than their lives, it’s about the lives of others which matter . Kudos to the guy who took them on,” wrote another user.
