Inhuman administration

It is a well known fact that the government departments including the Railways runs on the public money paid via taxes. But at present the public as a whole is deprived of the public services which is why the people at large are utterly dissatisfied with the government at the helm of affairs. Take for example the incident which happened on 22^nd June  2011 at the Falakata Railway station under Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal. A tribal passenger named Enalus Kharia 25 years old fell from a train and his two legs were severed. He was taken to the Railway platform by the co-passengers. The patient passenger remained groaning under  unbearable pain for at least half an hour but the then Assistant Station Master did not take pains to take him to the nearby Hospital for first aid. Somehow, the matter came to the notice of the local M.L.A  Anil Adhikary and he with his followers immediately rushed the patient to Falakata Primary Health Center where the patient was declared brought dead. When the matter was brought to the notice of the then Assistant Station Master of Falakata Station he explained that no vehicle was available to take the seriously injured patient to the Hospital.

   The above incident is one of thousands and lakhs taking place daily  in our country when the people are carelessly handled or left at the mercy of God to feel the pangs of sufferings. The Railways N.F. Division should take notice of this and take suitable action against the erring Station Master who was in charge at the time of the accident. He should be held fully responsible for the untimely death of the passenger whose safety is the sole responsibility of the department. Actually, this kind of callousness  cannot be allowed when our government claims to represent the people and not a handful of self seeking government employees who have little  regard for the common men’s life. Truly speaking the above incident is merely a reflection of the gross abuse of power in the government and administration which should undergo basic change. But the question remains. Who shall bring the desired change. The political leadership of our country has lost the moral strength to rule a democratically elected government and hence is the present mess.
