What makes our Meters to be turned off forever? Just because they are functioning normally? Just because they run slower than they are expected to be? Or is it a country where there is nobody to question anything? Why are we keeping our mouths shut? Until when are we going to close our eyes to everything? We are the change that we expect to come. It is time we speak up. There is nobody going to help us- The law, the rules, the police, the judiciary, the bureaucrats, the law makers. Nobody is going to turn up. Because they don't need rickshaws. They are busy travelling in their air conditioned government vehicles. It is we the people who needs all this. And thus it is our responsibility to talk up. At distances of around 20 or 40 rupees, we are being charged nearly 100 or sometimes even more.
Other than a very very very few cities in India, none of the cities have a properly functioning meter system for the rickshaws. In most of the cities or all of the cities they are simply installed on the rickshaws for the name sake. Whom are we trying to show it? In the Kerala, Thrissur town is one of the only places where the meters run. In most of the places, towns and cities these meters are killed forever. The pictures were taken as I traveled in a rickshaw recently. There is no different scenario in other rickshaws passing by too.
Why are the authorities silent? Where is the law that penalizes the common man for not having a pollution certificate for their bikes? Why is the Indian law showing partiality? Come on act upon this if you are really bothered of implementing the laws and being just.
