Gujrat Tragedy

I entirely agree with Rauf Klasra who on a tv talk show held the DPO and the DC Gujrat entirely responsible for the most tragic and untimely death of 16 very young innocent school going children and their outstandingly brave lady teacher, all burnt alive in the inferno of a van that got engulfed in fire due to the exploding of its substandard gas cylinder. The standard safety specifications  for the gas cylinders are clearly laid down by the govt.  but why was a van fitted with a substandard gas cylinder allowed to ply on the road, should not be difficult for anyone to guess.  Who doesn’t know that granting of licenses and the Road Worthiness Certificates to public transport is a multi billion rupee business and any vehicle can acquire these through the touts not even subjecting the vehicle to any inspection!!

I would, therefore, not only second Klasra that an FIR for the heinous murder of the children and the teacher be lodged against the said DPO and DC, but  strict stinking  censures be served to the DIG of the range and the IGP of Punjab as well for the negligence in the performance their duties of ensuring the safety of life and property of the public .
