And so here we have another live example how ‘less’ concerned is the Govt. and its callous officials when it comes to citizen’s safety. First of all there is total lack of coordination amongst the various departments of the Govt. when it comes to teamwork.

For example, the day the municipal corporation (BBMP), comes and does up a road and leaves it in absolutely fine condition, the very next day the water board (BWSSB), has to come and dig it up leaving it in a mess. Why can there not be a proper channel of communication, a sense of coordination and an official protocol amongst various Government Departments so that they do not end up in such mess?

A live example of such callous behavior is available at 6th Cross, Balaji Layout, Kaggadasapura, C V Raman Nagar, Bangalore 560 093 on the road in front of the South Block of Indu Heights Apartment.

The civic authorities came and dug up the road to do some sewerage maintenance activity. For that they had to dig up the road and do their work. So far so good, but what they did after that is worth notifying and glorifying as well as it passes the criteria to put the department in the “Hall of Shame”.

 

Have a look at the way they have left the road after doing their work. Moreover, the part of the road which has been left in a potentially killer position does not have any streetlight above it.

1. Any new person, especially one who drives a bike is in grave danger of meeting an accident and that can be fatal as well.

2. Even a car can get damaged seriously if the driver does not maneuver a turn properly.

3. If a truck enters the road and gets stuck, then Bingo! The traffic’s gone for the day.

4. Even pedestrians can fall at night while walking.

But were these arguments a part of the thought process of the Government Department responsible for creating the mess? This clearly shows the level of accountability and responsibility the callous Governments have about their citizens’ life and liberty.

Please spread this mail as far as possible so that more and more people can see what their ‘elected’ Governments are doing and take some of the social responsibility in setting things straight.

Many people pass by it; some ignore, some frown, some get irritated, give a curse or few to the Government and then take a turn around the mess and drive off.

I thought it was a part of my social responsibility to create awareness about it, hence took photographs of it, uploaded them on web, and then wrote this blog as well and will be circulating it.

If you feel its part of your social responsibility as well, the least you can do (other than ignoring it), is passing it around before deleting it from your mail box. Choice is left to you.
