Newspapers cover horrific stories every day. The death of 17 women & 13 year old girl during the crazy stampede again make for a very sorry story. 15 people are being injured too. The other day, a man also died while standing in the line for food. It’s ironic that these people went to take free food & they died in this manner. There are always stupid people who can’t help fixing the blame on the deceased for being hyper. I don’t understand how could they say such crap even if it comes in their little minds.
Why was there a baton charge in the 1st place? It was a food ration distribution for poor people. How else do they expect them to behave? In Ramazan, these people were made to stand in such long queues. And why were they dispersing women by baton charge?
Although a judicial inquiry has been ordered but what good would come out of it. The dead people won’t become alive & there is no guarantee that such incidents wouldn’t happen again. What kind of charity was it anyway that resulted in the death of 18 humans?
I’m sorry to say but it seems there is no respect for life. It’s way too cheap for all those who have authority. Even the idea of manhandling women is abhorrent but this thing also happens in this country. And just because it also happens in other places, it doesn’t mean that it should also happen here.
