Its the capital city. On its outskirts, in a small town, after work, he was on his way back home. With ruins of a full-day work in veins, and the dreams of a lifetime in mind.
When he was covering the darker portion of his path, two bikes came by, just hitting him. They stopped infront of him, blocking his way. Before he could open his mouth, he was kicked down to ground and they sealed his mouth with a plaster. They robbed him. When he tried to resist, they slashed him with a long knife wounding his shoulder and chest making him unconsious.
What do you think…? No, hes not dead.. hes alive and healthy by the grace of some good-hearted travellers that way.
This is not the portion from a cinema script or detective novel. Its a true story happened jus’ weeks back… And not in a Bihari slum or a mafia ruled Sicilian city…This incident occured just on our footsteps… Outside the gate of the big…one and only… TECHNOPARK.. the so called pride of Kerala. Let me give you another surprise. The law-keepers(police) was just half a Km away when this happened.
Just now, the thought hitting your mind would be the different versions of this story which has happened to any of your colleagues..Yes..its not a lone incident..!! Its happening each day to one of us.. It was him yesterday. Tomorrow it could be me or you..
Technopark is one of the prides of our small fully literate (so called) state. Its bringing a great amount of wealth to the treasury. Wonder why the authorities are keeping a closed eye to these incidents..?
Die or live, whatever.. but get the yield..!! Are we hunting dogs or what..? Is it like this the authorities feel like..?
Its high time that we should act..or more meaningfully, REACT. Lets not pass it to fate. Its our life, our yield and our future.
