Today will be remembered as the day when a bunch of sword wielding tractor driving terrorists rammed their way through police barricades & planted their flag over one of the forts of the capital city. All the while the leadership of the country looked in the opposite direction.
In the good old medieval days, an enemy planting his flag over your fort meant absolute defeat & humiliation. Kings in the olden days used to go out of the way to ensure that forts were well guarded. For in a fort was the prestige of not just the emperor, but the entire empire.
The symbolism of forts was never lost on the rulers of the past. For example Vijayanagara emperor Vira Narasimharaya used to ask for daily reports from his Dandanayaka on the security arrangements at all the important forts that he controlled.

King would not only seek details of report on security arrangements of the forts, but also the capital city everyday
No matter which way one wants to spin today's events, fact is it was a huge intelligence/security failure.
Atleast learn from history.
