Deputy Editor Kurt Bento explores the ramifications of Bangalore Traffic cops deploying a massive undercover operation to gauge the illegalities and trouble Bangalores citizens were going through on a daily basis. Read the excerpt here - #TheAutoRaid went viral and Bangalore’s citizens found that they could breathe a little easier. This is where the authorities prove that they’re doing their job, they go out, pull up people for illegalities and the citizenry see the proof in the pudding. If the Goa Police ever hopes to attempt something like that, Goa’s citizens will not have much public transport, judging by the amount of erring buses, taxis, rickshaws and whatever passes for transport these days. But since when do the things happen this way in Goa? Why bother with the issues that plague the state, when we can court controversy and get some column space, or take part in a debate on television. We have ministers shooting their mouth off with a devil may care attitude, perhaps to appease a few masters or perhaps because they don’t think before they speak. Open mouth, insert foot. Or in this case, chew down on it for a bit, ruminating on those non-sensical words. The virulent response to the PWD Minister’s statements online is testament to the fact that people will always be outraged by statements such as these, that threaten to disturb the social fabric of a village, town, state or country.
