It is in news papers today, the building that caught fire day before yesterday, in the inner city area of Jaipur was razed down.
The papers are reporting that the body of the father whose daughter of 14 yrs, who also died was recovered after 36 hours.
There was this para about a local resident of that area who was a brave heart in the rescue operations in the unfortunate incident.
Today papers show a photo and news that JMC and the mayor forming a committee about identifying the hazardous operations going on in the residential areas.( so cliched)
But there is no news at all about any kind of action, any case being registered by the Police/Media/Civil groups on the corrupt officials of the JDA/JMC/SSI/ and other authorities who did allow the risky business to continue in that building for all these years.
The officials as per law should not have allowed a business like that involving highly flammable materials to run in a densely populated and congested area.
This is the law that governs operation of any activity involving , storing , processing and trading of inflammable/hazardous materials.
Why is the media not doing its role and raising the right questions so that the culprits who allowed this to happen are bought to justice.?
We know that answers, but so sad we still are not raising the right questions.
Its a haze, its a trance, but it is not the reality we want to live in or give to our future generations.
Patrikas and Dainik Bhaskars in town please do your role ..... the game of readership numbers is quite boring now. Wake up.
