A man was shot on job on Friday night. The
police and the intelligence seemed to have given up for there were no clues to
track the perpetrators at the “adulterated” crime scene. The toll management has
shrugged off giving compensation to the victim’s family so far and is trying to
shrug off the incident by every possible mean now.
The lack of accountability of private
bodies catering to a civic liability can produce disastrous results. All
companies should come under a scanner to provide hospitable working condition
for its workers. But they won’t till the time they keep getting away with it.
Eventually, the 280 toll booth operators got
back to their cabins and continued their work. They would often be manhandled
by commuters. There would be no security to make their work condition any safer.
Nor would there be any insurance cover in case something goes wrong. But there
would be a CCTV camera to keep a tab on toll attendants but not on the
registration plate of the vehicles, sometime carrying criminals.
