Mahi and State
Indifference
This article in true
sense revokes the concept of contemporary media. It deals with how inactive the
executive powers of this country are. Taking up the subject of the recent
rescue of Mahi, a toddler stuck in a 700 ft. bore well, the author probes of how
the district based executive authority are showing a lethargic attitude towards
the protection of the people and enhancement of civic security. The acrticle
further states that the district collector holds the right to protect the lives
of the people of his region and has complete jurisdiction over collecting funds
from the errand for the repairs or compensation purposes. This fact is not
unheard by the collectors of today, but they simply choose to ignore it and
move ahead. People in urban areas are more sniffy about their security and so
such incidents do not very often happen in the urban areas, but still, we find
numerous places and half-done municipal corporation jobs that can take a toll
of anybody's life under a set of simplistic circumstances. This only tells us
that not just the people who are ignorant, but those who take cautions as well
are no longer safe. The simple reason being that the state executives simply
refuse to take interest in this very basic safety operation for the people. Having
talked about it, it becomes necessary now for the citizen himself to take a
stand for his own rights in front of the government. It becomes necessary for
us as 'the people' to make it clear to our executives that such ignorance which
can cause even the slightest harm to the life of a citizen cannot be taken for
granted.
