The sorry state of national capital - Delhi

Just two days of continuous rainfall puts a national capital to a standstill, highlighting the pathetic state of sewage system.

The transportation is running at its own mercy, the roads hardly get any repair. Much harrowing is the tale of roads that lead to interior parts. (By interior part, I do not mean to say some remote village or such but lanes and by - lanes leading to different part of Delhi). There are holes, breakages and unnecessary speed breakers everywhere.

The sewage system is deplorable. No insect treatment is carried out. Fumigation is restricted to selected localities.  No concern for people suffering Dengue, Malaria, Chikungunya and the like infections. And the so called ministers, health department, municipal corporation, they care and worry none.  

This is just a small part of problems faced by people of Delhi – the Capital. 

One thing the government is very particular about is that we file income tax returns on time. And that is obvious too; these ministers need to stock up their funds and accounts. 

Government talk of big things like FDI inflow, Make in India, Skill India etc. I realize these are like huge achievements, but what about our basic rights?

Are we becoming used to this suffering? 

Falling ill due to negligence of Health department, Municipal boards, is this our fate?  I went to the local hospital for a blood test and all I could see was people lying helplessly down with different sorts of fever. All because of ill treatment of sewage water, improper drainage of rain water breeds mosquitoes.  Is this not the loss of precious man-hours and man-power?

Last month there was a casualty due to pothole on the road. People are suffering spinal ailments due to poor roads. Do we all deserve this, after paying off all our taxes on time?

The Prime minister is busy making foreign tours. May be my small mind or little knowledge is not able to comprehend the utility behind it. But he should at least spare one week to just travel the entire nook and corner of Delhi with his ministers. He should know the worth and reality of his capital city.
