Newsmuse - Face of Indian Administration...


News in picture:
Scene: A flood affected area of Vadodara, Gujrat
Cast: Joint Commissioner of Police, K. Kumaraswamy, riding on the shoulders of a Constable to save his feet and trousers from Flood Water!!!
Source: The Indian Express, July 2

Thought:
Is the Constable gonna become an Inspector on reaching the shore successfully or gonna get graded down on stepping into an open manhole underwater??

  • Strong statements about the greatness of India/Indian Administration, or lack thereof, should not be made lightly!
    Cannot vouch for the truth of this as I did not find the original news nor the follow-up from Indian Express. However, this is worth consideration.

    Update : Harsh Says … “there is a report of correction to above from Indian Express of 15 July 2005. It says he was on work for last 17 hours at that time and is having a permanent injury in his leg from a bullet 10 years back”. Thanks Harsh for the update.
