To make meaningful change, the manpower and infrastructure has to be increased many times over.
The less said about the police system, the better. Indian police forces are riddled with problems of corruption and misuse of authority, and are often seen as stooges of the parties in power.

Offcourse none of these issues will ever be addressed. Instead sanctimonious cliches and impassioned speeches will be the order of the day in Parliament, along with band aid, quick fix solutions to tide over public outrage quickly.
Real issues will never be addressed as that requires serious effort at policy making and execution over long periods of time, which go beyond the next elections.
