As Bangaloreans you might have seen that there can be rain during any time of the year. Let it be summer season, winter or rainy season. And all this leads to accidents and incidents.
Why I am saying this is because I witnessed an accident right in front of me. An auto driver hits a man. Why? Because during the rain they don’t have wipers to clearly view the road, they don’t have headlights properly enough to see who is there in front of them and who is not.
An auto driver right in front of my office in Jayanagar hits a man so badly that the man falls 50 metres away and then adding to this the auto rides over him, and then the driver realizes that it was a man. He stops the auto and picks up the man so to find out that the man is hurt n his head and bleeding.
To stop any other confrontation from the passers on the road, he picks up the man and takes him to the nearby hospital. But Alas! The man has just succumbed to his injuries. What would you call this an accident or carelessness? I don’t know, because no matter what we call it still the man is dead and some support of his family given by him is lost.
Who is answerable to all this? Who is going to support his family now? What would balance his lost in his family? What would his children and wife do? (Not really sure if he was married) But if he was or wasn’t, he will still have a family and they had a loss now. Who is going to balance this situation? What is the remedy to this problem? No idea...
All this also happened because there was no power in the area. But imagine, if there is no power at evenings especially when it is raining. I also understand that there will be other incidents if there is thunder, but then there needs to be another solution for this. In places where there is necessity of street lights especially during the rain because it will be absolutely dark, then their, if you have a power cut, then what? Think of what all can happen?
If you ever need to travel in these kinds of roads, there may be pits which will not be visible; there might be chances of burglary and much much more...
I am not writing this because I want to blame some body or something but then there has to be some alternative for all that can happen during rain. Lemme know if you can think of something and we can help.
Luv Sadhana.
