The moving killer demon

So the infamous BlueLine bus of Delhi has again rammed into several vehicles on a busy intersection of road, killing an innocent boy and injuring seven. No big deal.... it happens every now and then on the roads of Delhi. What is new this time is the media coverage, attention and really commendable courage of a housewife, who stands up against the whole Blueline bus gang and demanding a strict time limit to rule out and stop all the killer buses from Delhi. Yesterday when i was surfing news channels, I got hooked to the STAR NEWS, normally i never see india Tv, star news and the likes as they only come up with some irrelevent, superfluous, spicy and filthy news which is of no use to anybody except giving some seconds of smile on the idiotic attempt of increasing their TRP. SO i was hooked to STAR news and was watching the interesting and important conversation between the brave lady and minister of transport Delhi Govt. Mr. Harun, facilitated and mediated by Gaurav ( Star news presenter). I was bound to astonished on the way that lady was presenting her point and demand. She was so focused and controlled while talking to the minister . She was continuously demanding the answer and tinme limit for phasing out the Blue Line buses, it was more commendable as the lady was still struggling to come out of shock she faced after his son's death. The minister was also handling the situation very competently but he cudnt answer the simple question raised by the lady. My point in posting this post is to draw public attention on the inability of news ANCHOR, since he was the person who could have grilled the minister but he was like visitor and was just listening the conversation and doing nothing. He should have done his homework and should have given some figures to foster the points raised by the lady. After all its quite ostensible for Delhi people that how rude the drivers, conductors and helpers of BL buses are. They always ask more money than prescribed, behave very rudely, fight advertently on any issue, whether big or small and the always be in hurry trying to overtake the vehicles ramming into them and killing people. The drunk and drive, hit and run cases are very common for these buses.

After the continuous protest and demand by some residents and that lady. Sheila Dixit succumbed to pressure and she has given statement that BL buses will be phased out probly by 2010. Upto now it seems a mere hollow promise but with strong pollitical will it can be done.

Hope these mobile demons of delhi will be no more on delhi roads.
