The family members of abducted schoolboy Nirmalendu Diwakar are quite indignant about the apathetic attitude of CM Nitish Kumar.

PATNA: The family members of abducted schoolboy Nirmalendu Diwakar alias Bunty are quite indignant about the apathetic attitude of CM Nitish Kumar, who, despite having made a promise, failed to visit them on Wednesday to offer a word or two of comforts.
Bunty was kidnapped from near his house on Tuesday morning. His father O P Diwakar said, "Had his (the CM's) own son been kidnapped, would he have continued to hold cabinet meetings?"
"We are common people with no means.Three days have gone by but the chief minister could not find time to visit us and give any assurance," Bunty's father, who now has pinned his hopes on the Almighty for his son's recovery, complained.
Bunty's mother Savita Diwakar is a patient of low blood pressure and her condition is worsening day by day. She has to be administered drugs so that her condition doesn't deteriorate further. Still her eyes remain glued to the main door. "Abhi tak mera bachcha kyon nahi aaya? Kya hua hai usko?"she keeps on asking.

Bunty's father, on the other hand, keeps cursing the state of affairs in Bihar. "Hum to peechhley do mahino se dekh rahein hain sarkar ko. Woh to aur bekar ho gayi hai," he said and added that things have deteriorated to such an extent that now children are literally being kidnapped from their mother's lap.
..."I don't understand when we will come out of this scary situation," he remarked. Meanwhile, a senior police officer said that investigations are on to trace Bunty. "We have interrogated a few people in this connection and the process is on," he maintained.

Earlier in the day, a prayer service was conducted in Bunty's school, Don Bosco Academy. School director Alfred Rozario said that prayers are the best way to express one's emotions and agony to the administration, the kidnappers and the Almighty.
School students exhibited mixed emotions of anger and concern over Bunty's kidnapping. His classmate Ankita said that Bunty used to sit next to her till three days back.
"Now that he has been kidnapped, we pray to the Almighty to keep our friend safe and also to the kidnappers to free him soon," she said with a mixed emotion of anxiety and fright.
...Security to students: Members of the Bihar Public School and Children Welfare Association on Thursday decided to provide special security to school students to prevent crime against them.
The association has decided to organise training camps to train students of schools affiliated to the association in fighting criminals.
An action committee, comprising 25 members, will be formed to inform the police and the association members about the route of school buses and their status from 6 to 8 am and from 1 pm to 3 pm.
Association chairman D K Singh said that students will be asked to remember the phone numbers of police stations. "It will be made compulsory for bus drivers to carry mobile phones," he said.
The members of the association also met DGP A R Sinha and appealed for the quick recovery of kidnapped Don Bosco Academy student Nirmalendu Diwakar alias Bunty. The DGP reassured them that the police were trying their level best to recover Bunty.
