Have U travelled the new & old kolkata roads, walked along footpath on any purposeless, but pleasure trip? If the answer is yes, then U must have noticed how kolkata roads, footpaths are being seized by political parties & their hookwinks. Yes, political parties, those supposed to govern the state after being on power,its progress, prosperity along with enactment of laws for the state & its people, are themselves indulging in seizing road flanks, foothpaths to build party office, clubs and lastly business shops etc. Do anyone thinking of grabing prominent place on footpath or prime road flank, no matter, find a planted tree.nonauspious of course, slowly turn this tree a god place lighting candle. incense sticks & other processes as practised regularly, U have succeeded in your plan. U will find peoples , on way to office,works started paying homage & the hookwinks slowly but steadily build mandir, thereafter grab the footh path, roadflank for small shops, trading houses completeily ignoring laws, peoples interest. Surprisingly no administrative authorities take any action against such illegal activities. The reasons are best known to them & the act of nonaction also best known to them. The harrasement of public, traffic system is probably a secondary issue to the govt. These problems, intensifies with time & ultimately becoming the biggest hurdle in any developmental works of future. Nobody ever thinks, these peoples are evading salestax, incometax which ought to had been deposited in govt.exchequer. In case of any eviction, rather govt. & all political parties equivocally plead for their compensation from taxpayers money. Such activities are encourageing to seizure of kolkata foothpaths, roadspace etc. Personally i have travelled all major cities of india, i have not seen such things there. In case of some stray cases as in gujrat, bangalore, hydrabad the administration took stern steps against it & recurrance of such incidents stopped. Here in kolkata political goodwill & boldness of administration are extremely sagging. Hence these activities are encouraged & peoples find this place a land of despotism and seizure.
The new kolkata is slowly under sieze along vip road, Rajarhat road(the worst hit from joramandir to new town crossing) & upcoming Jyoti basu nagar matching people density along the stretches. Unless political parties, govt. machinaries react right now against such encroachers , someday kolkata wil be a doomed hut of rotten politics. All should pray for kolkatas rejuvination as it is our own place, our own country of hope, dream & its fulfilment.
