Bihar:Rajnagar BDO Remains Nonchalant !

June 24th 2008 13:37

presupuestos reformas
There were high hopes when Nitish Kumar took over the reins of Bihar but his promises to rebuild the bare minimum infrastructure swiftly have remained just promises.To be fair to him, there are some visible activities but the progress is too slow to write anything about.An Auto driver would ask for an exorbitant fare of fifty rupees for a 12-13Kms journey in Delhi. But you will be lucky if any Auto driver agrees to take you to the Koilakh village that is approximately 13 kms.from Madhubani town,even if you offer to pay him more than 150 rupees.Blame the pathetic condition of the roads.The road between Madhubani and Jhanjharpur have been declared the state highway and are being built but it is progressing at a snail's pace.Even after the completion of this road,the stretch betweenRampatti and Koilakh will remain as it is now and traversing this 6 kms.stretch would be as difficult as it is now.
The situation would not have become so horrible if the concerned district officials would have been alert.But no one is bothered and the commuter's tortures are being taken for granted.
It seems that no officials ever step out from their cosy offices and venture into the hinterland otherwise they would have experienced the difficulties firsthand for themselves prompting them to devise something that would have reduced commuters' woe .
Corruption is everywhere in India but in Bihar,it is the way of life.Nothing moves here without gratifying the concerned officials. Lower level officials consider the greasing of their palms as their birthright and are fearless in demanding and accepting bribe.Ordinary villagers have no easy access to the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police,so the lower and intermediate level officials behave with impunity.Even the Block Development Officers behave in a bizarre manner.
The villagers of Koilakh allege that the BDO of Raj Nagar Block,Mr. Tewari is more interested in his own welfare than the most downtrodden sections of society .It is alleged that in connivance with the husband of theKoilakh Panchayat Mukhia , he has been swindling funds meant for development.There is a pile of accusation against him but he remains unfazed.He was lucky to remain unharmed because while a poor person died due to hunger ,he did nothing despite being reminded of the situation beforehand.Villagers were outraged but kept quite because the hunger-death like "national shame" would have tarnished the name of otherwise this very reputed village.Butin spite of being aware of the truth the BDO remained nonchalant.
As long as these kinds of officers are at the helm,no governmental benefit will percolate to the person who needs desperate help.Hopefully these kinds of officers will be sternly told to mend their ways and be honest towards their responsibility.
