Nearly one year ago,a tragic accident took place in which Ms Upamoni Choudhury fell into an open drain in Gandhibasti,which neither had a slab covering it nor any rail guard for protection.Her body was found in Paltanbazar the next morning.The Govt. had announced an ex-gratia grant of Rs.5000 ( that is what the Govt. places price on human lives).
Mr.Phani Sharma,the GMC administrator claimed that he is responsible only for cleaning of drains and revenue collection!!!! An analogy can be made with tinned-fish manufacturer,who claims that he is responsible only for the CONTENS and not for the CONDITION in which the fish reaches the consumer ? Hobo deok.
