    Acts of vandalism, especially against religious symbols, reflect deeper societal fractures. True strength lies in respecting diverse beliefs rather than resorting to destruction. A mature society addresses differences through dialogue, not desecration

    Very bad and very sad. Police should investigate on priority and arrest the culprits immediately. Any delays might raise speculations and wrongly point fingers at different directions. Please investigate whether the wages for lobours who erected the Cross has been paid promptly.

    Firstly, the person who has vandalized will not be arrested. If at all arrested, it will be declared that the person is mentally unsound.
