It is seldom that the headline of a newpaper pleases me.
After the headline of 11th October which I reported in my post of that day titled “Birds of a Feather”,today’s headlines in “The Telegraph” “Jawan Belt-Whips bus driver” takes the cake.
On behalf of the people of Kolkata, I would like to congratulate N K Yadav of the Signals wing for meting out summary justice to the erring bus employees on Friday, 21.12.2007.
For far too long have we the general public been made to accept their notorious misbehavior.
They are a rule unto themselves.
They drive rashly causing people to lose their limbs and lives.
They throw out aged, infirm and women passengers from running buses.
They allow pickpockets a free run in their buses knowing their profession.
There is nobody to challenge them as they are unionized and supply canon fodder to the political parties and carry hooligans to the political rallies.
The pot-bellied, unionized police also cannot take any action for they can hardly move because of overeating,disuse of their limbs and political pressure.
This action of the army jawan is like a beacon in a storm.
I would in fact request the G O C, Eastern Command to let loose about 20 such dashing jawans to randomly tour Kolkata, in pairs, in guise as ordinary people in public buses.
Any errant drivers or conductors found to be driving rashly or misbehaving should be given the belting and punching.
Not only them.
Even commuters who repeatedly say “Dichhe, dichhe” when the conductor asks them to purchase tickets should also be belted.
The people who under pay the fare and ask the conductor to keep the money should also be punched.
There is no use asking the police to take any action, as they are useless and act only on political pressure.
There is no use of asking the government to do anything, as it is the cause of this indiscipline in all spheres of public life.
Mr. N K Yadav is our only hope.
He should be rewarded at a public ceremony.
Yours sincerely.
Radheshyam
