Mugger
Crime. Corruption. Nexus
Introduction
If you realized that the MLA you voted for is a muscular, liquor-mafia, you must feel yourself accused. Had you known earlier about him, what could you have done? Nothing. He had to win, as he had muscle power, money power, and an organized party.
Public Transport Issues
One day you came to know that the public transport buses, in which you traveled, have been seized to ply because of quarrels between the states. Now you are to reach office changing two or three buses paying three times extra penny. And you see that in a bus, three-four stalwart bus-operators jostled passengers hurling filthy language.
News and Incidents
While flipping through the newspapers, your eyes strike news about a village-pradhan, who constructed a canal in that place which was far from the village and there was no water at all to irrigate. An accused, who plotted crores of rupees scam, wandering fearlessly. To suppress the plantation scam, forest officials themselves set fire to the jungle. An honest officer was suspended because he didn't allow illegal activities in his area.
City Life and Law Enforcement
In your city, lives of seven-eight innocents are crushing under the wheels of buses daily. And after a few days, hue and cry, the matter has been suppressed or settled. Few policemen removed the fruit-vegetable market of your locality waving their sticks. While you are driving, one traffic sepoy waved you to stop for checking. Despite all completed papers, he demanded money in the name of a slightly narrow number plate on your vehicle.
Infrastructure and Civic Issues
The footpath, which was constructed hardly six months ago, dug out by laborers and new tiles are being fixed in place of it. Whereas in your colony, the service road, streets are uneven, damaged badly, and developed with potholes for the last five years. Drains are blocked, sewer is stenching. Despite complaints, no one is hearing and repairing.
Societal Challenges
These incidents make you fret, frustrate, and restless, and you discuss others to vent your spleen out. There are scores of muggers in society whom you come across daily in your day-to-day life, challenging you and your democracy as well.
