dear author,
wat constitutes a bomb
thank god, it was just IED, not more than that.
Are we really secured, internally(4m corruption) and externally(4m ngolops)? What does our govt.has to say about it other than preaching GNH?
Police n govt still doesn’t share info with us, they think only they should know the info n not us.
