Of all the technical checks, trail & errors the
Namma Metro officials conducted, this must have slipped their mind. 2 weeks in
to the full functioning of the 1st phase, the inevitable has happened and
the administration was caught unaware.
No, I am not taking about the strike or the other
incidents that happened yesterday. Just have a look at this piece of Report I read on Deccan Herald last
Monday -
A staffer at MG Road Metro station said drunk commuters do not listen to their advice not to board the train. “They argue that they are not using the service for free and tell us to back off. We advise them for their own good and because we know how tough it is to clean up the mess they leave behind,” he said.
“The train goes till Nayandahalli and passengers suffer for nearly half-an hour. This is totally uncivilised on the part of a commuter,” said commuter Suresh Gowda, adding that officials should make an arrangement to clean the car at the next station.
About 30 people in the front car of the last Metro train on Friday moved to the extreme end as foul smell spread after a passenger vomited near Central College station.
If I had to sign off in Kannada, I could have
written "inno e kannalli enen nodbeko". Unadulterated translation - 'Remains to see what all this eyes have to see
:-)
