Life is very cheap here. This is India . I am saddened to learn the tragic end of a man who accidentally fell into an open drain. To be exact ,it is near a prominent Garuda Mall in Bangalore. Some infrastructure project is going on. The company undertaking the project is a subsidiary of the French infrastructure major Vinck . The point is that the drain was not covered and those responsible failed in their duty. The result is loss of life. This is one of the hundreds of mishaps taking place with unerring regularity in Indian cities. The civic authorities don't care. There is no accountability. No proper supervision .Our public authorities never learn from their mistakes. The law of torts is also not so well developed as in other western countries and USA. Generally our roads are very bad. The enthusiasm of Mr. Modi for a better India has not percolated to the lower level. Sometimes judicial activism helps. How much can judiciary encroach into the domain of executives ? Executive always needs prodding . A very depressing picture indeed for those who have high hopes on the country in the international arena.
