Incorrigibility has become the lifeline of our workmanship. The falling of small kids and even adults in the uncovered manholes or in pits due to the negligence of agencies is something that cannot be allowed to be buried in the heaps of files.
Accident is something that happens unexpected, instantly and which does not lie in the domain of human management for that given particular period of time. Human progressive approach henceforth lies in improving the aberrations--- working on the shortfalls and striving not to let it happen.
Perennial re occurrence of manholes-- left uncovered cannot be termed as an accident--- not to be passed in such an astonishingly casual manner. But unfortunately neither the government nor any of the so called human rights organizations considered it worth enough a subject to be serious about.
Continuous loss of life due to negligence of authorities is a serious criminal matter which has not been looked through the prism of “Law of Torts”. Proper accountability and holding the concerned employee responsible with strict penalties as under the law is the call of the time.
It is surely about time to call off the bluff and adopt long term measures. After all it is State’s responsibility to ensure the safety of its citizens. Why wait for the day when CM be sued for every loss of life due to negligence of the State.
