THE STREET AS EXTENDED BUILDING SITE

Maybe due to missing laws, but I rather think due to negligence and lassez- faire of police almost all building site download the cement, sand, bricks, iron beams and all other stuff needed to build a house on the sidewalks and even till the middle of the road. Even worse once the building is finished, nobody feels responsible to clean the mess. The result you can see in the pictures.

A young boar takes the opportunity to take a bath in the mud created by a leaking water line. Obviously he did not want to be on the picture since he was trying to escape. I am sure if I pass there next weak leak will still be there to the merriment of the boar.

I should not be too hard on the Police, in the Sunday Times of today was written, " NOIDA (this is one of the satellite cities of Delhi, comparable with Gurgaon) POLICE AS NO PHONES OR PETROL FOR PATROL..... Almost all police stations in the two districts have had their phones disconnected years ago for non-payment of the bills. Some station officers have arranged private mobile phones so that police stations can be contacted. The solitary jeep in every police station in Ghaziabad (another satellite city of Delhi) gets a mere 100 l of fuel every month. Another 20 to 25 l can be procured with special sanction of the district police chief."

Of course under these circumstances, police simply has no time to control the mess trying to organize some fuel.
