Editor’s note

How legitimate are such violent demonstrations by youth? Stopping traffic and damaging government property is not only unlawful but also affects local citizens creating havoc and fear.

In quite a few of the cases, such protests rapidly move beyond addressing the root cause and turn into a play ground for anti-social elements.
