Hijacking is one of the many crimes being committed these days . We face hijacking on a regular basis . This social ill has spread in our country at an alarming rate. It's difficult to find any person who did not fall victim to hijacking at least once in his life. What is more alarming is that most of the hijackers are youths in the 15-20 age group.

They are not only snatching money and other valuables from innocent people , but at times they commit murder. The image of the country is also blurred by their activities. A few weeks ago a foreign ambassador was targeted by the hijackers. That shows that hijackers can victimise anybody in this country.

The law enforcers should take note of the situation and make sincere efforts to stop hijacking .
