According to reports of United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime of 2018, an index is given below. Countries with highest crime rate:
Crime committed per lakh of population.

Homicide
1. El Salvador 52.02
2. Virgin Islands 49.28
3. Jamaica 43.85

Rape
1. Botswana 92.93
2. Australia 91.92
3. Lesotho 82.68

Robbery
1. Costa Rica 1587.5
2. Argentina 922.6
3. Uruguay 866.8

In India, the states reporting the highest charge-sheeting rate under IPC crimes are:
1. Gujarat 97.1%
2. Kerala 94.9%
3. TN 91.7%

According to NCRB data for 2021 released recently Kochi was ranked third with 1603.7 crimes per lakh of population.

The spurt of crime in Kochi has significant link with widespread narcotics use in this commercial capital of the state. Unfortunately no result oriented steps have  been taken by the state government to eradicate this menace from the state. The authorities concerned could not reach the top of the net work to prevent the distribution en masse.

In order to make the state narcotics free the state government may take the help of the Educationalists, Sociologists, Medical Community, Legal Systems, Religious leaders etc Alongwith the Law and Order machinery. Further to this all about narcotics should be included in the school syllabus from class 4 to 12.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
