11/07/2006 – Mumbai rocked by several bomb blasts in the local trains.. , more than 150 people died in the blasts. Government claims Lashkar-e-Taiba behind this, government says Pakistani nationals are involved in the blasts (which everyone already knew). Officials make big promises of tightening security everywhere and finding the culprits.
11/07/2007 – around 13 out of 28 are in the jail. Rest of them are having fun in Pakistan. No judgment is given for those 13 terrorists. They are still enjoying food and shelter in our jails.
– Instead of hanging them till the death our dear government is feeding them free food.
– Officials got CCTV cameras installed in the bus after a year but in, only 1 bus out of 3600 buses. They were supposed to install CCTV camera in all the buses within 2 months after the blasts.
– CCTV cameras got installed at Andheri and Dadar station but in the wrong directions!!
– Security in the malls is still pathetic, the lazy security guards do no check the vehicles in the peak hours. (Checked in Nirmal Lifestyles and R Mall in Mulund)
– Mumbai police still says “We have not got the most wanted accused“
– it costs just Rs. 200 to cross Indo – Bangla border. India is still welcoming the terrorists.
– The government does nothing to beef up the security or to stop the corruption at vulnerable areas. (Borders, navy etc..)
– Free food in the jail attracts more terrorist to bomb places in India.
– It is still very easy to bomb Mumbai.
– AND my Mumbai still cries….
~~~ Peace ~~~
I have nothing better to expect from our government and government “servants”. They are simply busy making more money for themselves and imposing new taxes.
Prasar Bharati is short of cash! Why? No one knows. But government plans to impose a new tax on television to take care of that!
They have earned crores and crores in the name of 2% Education Cess. Where is it used? No one knows again! But now we have additional 1% Higher Education Cess. And after paying all those taxes for education what do we get? RESERVATIONS!
Whether it be central goverment, state government or municipality corporation – all are simply useless. They do nothing for public!
Totally agree, specially the TV point was pointless and stupid. If you don’t have money then figure out other ways, why the hell you want to impose tax on TVs. It’s more like demanding the money from people in the form of taxes.
Those who don’t know about the proposed tax on telvision, can check the info here
Mumbai still cries……
Thats very true Deep…
and u know what..i was shocked to see some political party put up the donation collection box at Mulund station today (11-7-2007) i.e. one year after the blasts. I dont know whether these bloody people have helped anyone from the money collected immediately after the blasts by them.
I know every body knows where the money went which these political party collected… no need to detail it out…
Damn India will never come up.. not until every single politician in our country is destroyed. Unless all the kichad is cleaned up, right from its roots there are absolutely no chances.
Everywhere and anywhere i go all in India, all i can see is corruption, corruption and more corruption.
A few years ago to get a driving license done, i visited the RTO. At the entrance i met a man, who said i can get ur license done for Rs 2000. I refused and made my wat to get the form. Filled it and i had to wait in a Q for almost 3 days.. after waiting for almost 3 hours on the third day.. i was told to pay up Rs 2000 to get the license directly (without the driving license test) i refused, i insisted to go through the whole procedure and get my license. The official at the RTO asked me to visit him the next day.
Next day morning, i was adviced in a very sweet way to pay up Rs 2000 so that it would be easier for me. I refused. He said chalo give me Rs 1000. I refused. He said you seem to be student from a good family, is 1000 too much for you? I told him, i dont wanna pay you even a penny more than what is mentioned on the form. He said fine then, come tomorrow. Went again the next day, he said fill the form give it in the counter and come after a week. I visited them after a week, they said we havent received the form at all.. haha
and then since i had planned a trip to ooty, i was forced to pay him Rs 1000.. and voila.. no learners license.. no driving test.. no nothing.. just a few signatures and i am done.. within 3 days.. i got my license
It was like a challenge, pay up or else you wont get the driving license.. haha.. sometimes we are indeed helpless

If the condition of jails in India is improved too much, there will be people deliberately committing crimes to go to jail and enjoy! Bad conditions of jails actually works as a deterrent.
