Sir: Bomb disposal is the process by which hazardous explosive devices are rendered safe. Those who perform this task are very courageous. The world over, bomb squads are protected through provision of safe bomb disposal gadgets. But in Pakistan the bomb squad team is provided only helmets, which are insufficient for the job at hand.Not providing equipment for safety is similar to throwing a man into a lion’s cage — leaving it to the lion to decide whether to eat the man or not. Scientists in Pakistan have invented bombs but nothing to protect those who save us from them. The government must make sure there is adequate support and material given to the bomb disposal team here.SABA SHAHEENKarachi
