Nehru Outer Ring Road - Finally Government Wakes Up

Finally Andhra Pradesh Government woke up reg. the accident prone so called Elevator Express High Way namely Nehru Outer Ring Road(NORR) in Hyderabad! Its a appreciative gesture and everyone welcomes it! Better late than never.

AP's honorable home minister ordered today to control the accidents on NORR:

"Speed limit controllers and monitors to be installed", "Regular patrolling vehicles to be active always", etc etc.... All orders welcomed!

But, why now? All of a sudden. NORR spanning 162KMS has been a death trap for many...many many accidents till now. As per a television news channel on an average around 45 people die on this route monthly. Its been a common news for hyderabadis about some or other accidents ranging from minor to fatal.  In 2010, tollywood actor Kota Srinivasa Rao's son lost his life on the same NORR. Government didn't feel the pinch. Recently, around a month back indian cricketer Mohammed Azahruddin's son Ajmal lost his life while racing on his 1000CC bike on NORR. He lost his life riding a super bike and its reported that the accident was due to loss of control at high speeds. Quiet possible. AP govt. didn't wink at this accident too. Possibly government was quite busy dealing with Sakala Jannula Sammey(All People Agitation), an agitation going for the cause of statehood of Telangana or may be AP govt. was in a possible political nappie. 

Reasons' for the accidents' apart, either it be negligence of the authorities or over speeding - that's a topic for another post. 

Then why now? Yesterday, Ex-MLA Mr. Komati Reddy's son Pratheek lost his life on the same dangerous NORR. Yep, you got it now. AP govt. is jolted now with this accident. If pratheek's son had not been Ex-MLA's son and if he had been some govt. employees son, this wake up would not have happened yet. This accident too would have gone unnoticed with just a small scroll in some news channel. Had it been another accident of the same proportion but not related to some celebrity, would this SHAMELESS govt. of AP reacted? What message does the govt. send to people from this sort of response? Does this mean common people doesn't hold any value? Does this mean common people doesn't hold any stake? Does this mean only celebrities life and their families hold value? WTF.

I wonder when this shameless govt. treats everyone equal. I wonder when this shameless govt. realizes that india is a democratic country. I wonder when our shameless politicians consider people as the assets and not the cadres or their profiles. I wonder when our shameless politicians realizes that people are the donors who gifted them their current position. I wonder when our shameless politician realize that some day there would be a situation when they would be frightened to come to people for vote begging. Shame...shame on the government and shame on these shameless politicians.

Only the politicians & govt. are to be blamed? Aren't we equally responsible for electing a govt. which doesn't know the meaning of administration is just running a drama company in the state assembly? INDIA lost its eligibility to be administered on Democracy. India needs dictatorship to resurrect.
