Shameless GRPs!!!!

I was browsing through the papers yesterday when a particular incident caught my eye. The news was about another unfortunate man who fell off the local train and lost his both legs, in a city like Mumbai almost 90% of the people use local trains as their public transport this incidents are reported almost every alternate day. The railway police are presumed to help people when anything this serious happens, some are good officers who ensure that the victim gets to hospital on time and that his relatives are informed, but some just turn out to be black sheeps. In this particular case after the man lost both his legs he became unconcious and the GRP at Dadar station took his body and kept it in front of the station masters office and when the station ambulance was summoned to take the man to the hospital it refused for no reason and when the GRP had to sum up Rs. 700 to call up a private ambulance they just did not pool in money for the victim to be taken to the hospital. The incident happened at 1 in the morning and the victim was kept in front of the station master's office till 9 a.m. when some commuters gathered and staged a protest it helped in summoning an ambulance and the most pathetic conduct was when the body was taken in a cart provided to the porters at the station to ferry luggage instead of a strecher. When the body reached the hospital the doctor declared him dead. The man had died within one hour of the incident, had the GRPs and the station officials not wasted anytime and if they had pooled in Rs. 700 they could have saved a priceless life. I have myself witnessed such an incident when a man fell form a running a train and his leg was cut into peices i must say its easy to say that we must help but when you see blood and his bones sticking out of his leg it can make any one dizzy, the people called the GRP to help him after all they are trained for such mishaps but they just took their time and came in well after 10 mintes of the incident. This left me numb and i got jitters when i used to board or get off the locals for almost a week. I personally feel that the GRPs should take thier duty seriously because its people's life they are dealing with here and we pay for them damnit through burdened taxs.........
