Ambimama - India

Government officials do not have respect for the common man. This includes Public transport buses run by the State, Railways by the Central Government and Banks to mention a few.

The bus drivers may instantly go on a strike and stop the buses in the middle of the road causing traffic jams if their demands are not met or if irritated travellers verbally fight with the driver or conductor. Just a spark and Chennai comes to a halt. They are not answerable to the Traffic Police if they jump Red signals and there is no insurance paid as the law protects them. We the common people are made fools. We have to create an awareness campaign to teach the erring drivers.

Now, Railways strike. The signaling system in a station (Gummudipoondi Oh! What a difficult name to pronounce) has failed to work for several months and the Railway authorities did not correct.

So the EMU (Electro Motive Unit – Local trains in Chennai) used to skip the signals and proceed. Suddenly the Railway authorities suspended the driver for violating the signal. This is sure an internal matter of Railways to be resolved.

But the EMU drivers Union to show their anger suddenly stopped all the trains in the middle and at peak hours. This made the Public walk for several kilometers and reach their offices. The came Railway officials after several hours and revoked the suspension and made the trains run again. Even long distance trains were affected due to this.

So it is always public which suffers! When will the bureaucracy end? And what is Lallo doing? Even his MBA lectures have proved to be a scam. God save the tolerant public of India!
