Police remains mute spectator
Ludhiana, August 29 The morality touched its lowest ebb as the unruly mob didn’t even spare women. The protesters also blocked traffic at Bharat Nagar Chowk, putting commuters to inconvenience. The exasperated reaction of a harried commuter sums up the situation: “If the police resorts to cane-charge on the unruly mob, the politicians and media term it as a human right violation. But what about the common man? What is my fault,” said Karan Kumar, a resident of Jagraon. Industrialist Paramvir Bhogal, who was on his way to his factory, remained stuck in the traffic jam at Fountain Chowk. “I could not even reverse my vehicle. After struggling for an hour, I managed to reach Durga Mata Mandir near Jagraon Bridge. Finally, I decided to park my vehicle along the road,” said Paramvir Bhogal. Sonu, a resident of Paatran, who was visiting city after a long time, was upset to see unruly mod smashing the windscreen of buses. “My friends were rightly terming it as a mad city. I was shocked when a youth came in front of the bus and smashed its windscreen. The youth was accompanied by nearly 10 armed persons who directed the driver of the bus to stop the vehicle. I alighted from the bus and started running. Now, I have to walk to Salem Tabri, which is nearly 4 km from here," said Sonu. Tulsi, who had picked up her children from school, said: “Fortunately, the rickshaw puller called me and told me about the protest. So I rushed to the school to pick up my children. Thankfully, they are safe." Chand Lal (70) of Jawahar Nagar, who was discharged from a hospital, had to walk to his place in the absence of any conveyance. The septuagenarian said he was forced to get down of an ambulance after its driver was asked to reverse the vehicle by the unruly youths. Police should take action
“Law is equal for all. Two youths were put behind the bars for allegedly thrashing a lawyer, who was answering nature’s call on a wall. It remains to be seen what action the police takes against the unruly youngsters who held the city to ransom,” said Sham Singh Harika, a veteran politician turned social worker. |
