Blocking Traffic for Security Of VVIPs
By KTM Metro Reporter
September 13, 2011: the traffic police and the security officials have blocked the traffic at the center of the Kathmandu Metropolitan city for about two hours in the name of security of VVIPs such as President Ram Baran Yadav, Vice-president Permananda Jha, Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai and Speaker Subhas Nemwang while they were attending the Indra jatra festival at the core of the old Kathmandu on Sunday, September 11, 2011. The traffic during the two hours has been chaotic and people don’t know how to reach their destinations.
Blocking the traffic for two hours, the security officials and the traffic police have demonstrated how incompetent they are. They need to show their competency for providing the security to the VVIPs without interrupting the traffic and smooth flow of vehicles and people to their destinations.
However, the security people and the traffic people have shown their great services to the VVIPs troubling the people that have paid for their salaries. The tendency has been the repetition of serving the VVIPs at the cost of the people that pay taxes for their salaries.
VVIPs in turn have been indifferent to the people’s grievances caused by the security people and the traffic police. The people have elected them t such office sof VVIPs only to trouble the same people, what an irony.
