Even after the directive of the Hon’ble Supreme Court that came on Feb 2010, which asked all the Chief Secretaries to cover up all the abandoned bore wells and drains in all states, the govt. continues to play with the lives of the common people. In a country like India where, everyone is raising slogans related to protection of child rights and Right to Education, Mahi a 5-years old girl from Haryana battles for life as she fell on a 75 feet deep bore well. She has been trapped there for 45 hours now. The saddest part of the incident is that she had celebrated her birthday being trapped inside the bore well.
This clearly shows that neither the govt. nor the civic authoritied have learnt any lesson form the incident that took place on 2006, where a small boy named Prince had to undergo the similar pain as Mahi after he fell on an abandoned bore well, but thankfully he was saved. It’s very much unfortunate that, the more India is developing less has been the value of the lives of the common people. Also the indifferences towards common people have been continuously increasing and this fact is completely true because the police reached the spot 9 hours after the incident took place. Moreover the army was being called 20 hours later, drilling machine was started 19 hours after the incident. Another, shameful thing is that three more such open bore wells were present around a radius of 25metres from the one where Mahi had fallen, but it was soon covered after the arrival of the media.
So, now the question is would the rescue operations have been the same if, instead of Mahi the son/daughter of a bureaucrat or a politician have fallen in the bore well????
A person on a social networking site rightly said that, if this would have happened with the child of a bureaucrat or politician, the matter would have till now reached the parliament.
Infact, I feel that this matter would have been solved immediately if this would have been the time of elections. This clearly shows the sheer indifference on the part of the govt. towards common people.
News footage clearly showed how the police and other officials of the administration were sitting in chairs and having tea as if they were enjoying a movie or a circus. Is this how they are going to give service to the nation and work for the common people???
The govt. and the administration should be ashamed of themselves and if they are not, then we the common people should start a movement to embarrass them. While talking to the media persons the District Magistrate(DM), was giving a detailed of their work. I think that the Haryana govt should have immediately taken action against the DM because even after the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s directive, it was being violated.
At this point of time when little Mahi is battling for her life. We all can just keep our fingers crossed for the innocent soul-Mahi so that rescue operations gets successful and she comes out safe and begins to enjoy her life.
