Mahi and State Indifference


June 30

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.
