It has often been seen that the police officials of our country do not use hand gloves whenever they arrive at the place of occurrence of terrorist or otherwise any other incident for the collection of basic evidence. Resultantly, the preliminary evidencerelating to the imprints of the fingerprints of the suspected person(s) gets destroyed. Using hand gloves, our police officials can be able to collect the basic evidence from the site of occurrence of an incident. This will help them in reaching to the actual culprit. The police officials of the developed countries of the world cannot even think of collecting evidence at the scene of the crime without reallyusing hand gloves. ABDUL SAMADSAMO, Karachi, November 15.
