Kathmandu: The national population were given to understand that the security system in and around the Royal Palace were more than strict. Likewise the common Nepali citizens guessed that the Nepali Royalty inside the Palace were pretty safe and that no force on earth could dismantle the existing security systems there. However this was not.

Similarly, the Nepali people considered or even took the relation in between the Nepali Royales to be simply excellent worth emulating. The common laity had a firm belief that Nepali Royalty were in essence a very cohesive force and that their personal relations with each others were par excellence.

However this was not the case as has become evident from the calamitous episode that happened inside the ramparts of the most secured place-the Royal Palace-on June 1 early evening.

Two things now remain exposed regarding the Palace.

Firstly, that the security system inside the Royal Palace is unpredictably weak and that the managers of the security apparatus inside the Palace exhibit utter negligence as a result of which such unimaginable incident took place that evening. This also exposes that should a grave crisis occur of the sort of that evening, our security men will come to know about the incident when every thing will finish or come to a miserable end.

This has got to be changed. How a change for the better is made is perhaps the job of the concerned authorities. All that we can advise is that a major shakeup awaits the Palace security system at the earliest.

Secondly and most importantly, the internal or say the private relations in between the Royal family members too appeared fragile. However, what was visibly clear is that all the members possess tremendous love and respect for the late monarch. If Crown Prince Dipendra is the real killer then also it could be guessed that he had developed some sort of allergy with his parents and for the rest of his own family members.

We wish that such negative impressions faded away from the minds of the general populace at the earliest.

A happy and united Royal family members could be an asset for all who Nepali monarch to continue for long time to come in this nation.

Reports have it that King Gyanendra has already authorized Shant Kumar Malla to take stock of the lapses in the Palace security system and prepare a detailed report on how to improve the system so that such ghastly killings could be averted.

Intellectuals opine that henceforth the new King must impose a ban on all Royal family members carrying lethal weapons on such family gatherings to avoid untoward incidents.

Good suggestion indeed.

Telegraph adds: Fortunately enough, there has been an unconfirmed report of the major shakeup in the existing Security Officers of the Royal Palace already. However, sources maintain that till now none of the officers on duty that evening have been awarded penal actions. The Committee under Malla will undoubtedly supply some names to be awarded stringent penal actions.
