The shock has passed, the dead are being identified, the injured being treated, but the need has not gone away. Indeed, it is greater now that the much-overworked âspiritâ has done its bit, and an angry public demands answers on the state of the investigations.
Someone credible has to stand up and tell us what, if anything, is being done to nail and get the real culprits. As distinct from merely rounding up the usual suspects.
We hate to keep bringing up New York Cityâs Mayor Giuliani , but 7/11 has shown up the need for The Man In Charge even more, and more aptly, than 26/7 did.
The package is the product as much in crisis management and confidence building as in marketing. Appearing on the battle-fronts and in the media, this one strong person is indispensable to winning the battle for our minds.
This is the face that gives the weary teams one more surge of energy, and millions of shaken Mumbaikars the assurance that they can sleep easier tonight, and tomorrow night. That justice is being actively pursued, and that punishment will match the vicious crime.
It is no longer just a city matter so, even if Mr Joseph were the kind of figure who inspired confidence, he is not our man. Mr Vilasrao Deshmukh we are waiting. Are you ready, willing and able? Are you even there?
