Should police in your country be stricter or less strict?
In my opinion, it is not about being more strict or less but more about being smart. That is very important. They need to realize ways to stop crime rather than bringing out difficult punishments for the criminals, because we don’t want more of criminals dying but less of individuals becoming criminals.

Is your country a safe country?
Too an extent yes it is. When we look at the world picture, comparatively it is safe. But, on an individual level, I think it is not a very safe country, especially for women. There have been lot of improvement in the state to ensure that the women of the country are safe, but in my opinion, there is so much more that needs to be done.
