Threats to public servants

AK_CS

A DSP was killed in Pratapgarh today, Narendar Singh IPS trainee was killed in MP a year back, Yashwant Sonawane ADM in Maharashtra was killed by ilegal kerosene outlet owner 2 years back, this year Karnataka Administrative Service officer was beaten to death. These are the officers which are directly incharge of law and order. we wont have count if we include othere officers e.g. shanguman manjunath, satyaprakash dubey.
There is a difference between such killings and killing-in-action/sort of professional hazard e.g. martyrdom of Hemant Karkare, Ashok Amte.
Many issues arise out of it
1) malgovernance
2)lawlessness
and many more issues which i am not able to put here. After all, bright youngsters of country dont deserve such a fate. Plz share your views whatever you feel like.

It is very shameful for the government for not taking severe action against such incidence. It seems all these threats are indirectly govern by them. Political leaders are nothing without bureaucrats, still they treat them as their servant.

I strongly oppose these heinous & unlawful activities against our highly qualified & deserving officers. We must initiate strong resistance against corrupt & criminal background leaders who are definitely behind this malgovernance.

Blood boiling incidents - one after another.

you cant stop doing the right things for the fear of getting harmed....its counter productive to your very purpose of becoming a civil servant....and we are living in a risk society and imo a common man has as much chance of getting harmed as a civil servant,infact more than a civil servant....

Don't have any expectations from political class, when the citizens don't keep their criminal record in mind while electing them as representatives.

I am not sure how many of us would remember the lynching of Mr. G. Krishnaiah (IAS) DM, Gopalganj back in 1994. That must have been the only incident in when an IAS officer was mobbed to death. The reasons are so clear that they need not even be mentioned - Lawlessness, political high-handedness, scant respect for law among a lot else.

I was a kid back then in 1994, but I still recall this, he was a good friend of my Dad. Finally after 18 years, there was *some* sense of closure in the case. I still wonder if this was a classic case of Justice delayed and still justice denied! These are just my personal opinion.

these type of news really scare me. it makes me to reconsider my decision of becoming a civil servant. i mean after all these years of hard work, mental preparation, endless hours of studies, millions of sacrifices not only yours but your parents and other well wishers all these for only to reach your goal. the goal to serve the nation, its people, do welfare for the society. keeping all these in mind we study hard...really hard and one day we become an IAS/ IPS officer. after extensive training we come to field (cadre) and realize the reality is bit different from what we have imagined. here we see nobody really cares about the country, nobody want the welfare of poor people. corrupt politicians and pressure from mafia and goonda raj. everyone play with law and order like it is toy. no respect for fellow human being let alone the constitution but still with faith in our decision and keeping those morals in mind we continue to serve and what we get for all this patriotic honest work , one day out of nowhere a bullet comes and perforate your heart and left nothing. politicians will blame each other and do nothing, victim will never get justice because of our inefficient judicial process and lack of evidence and the same process continues, one after another honest officer gets killed. so why we still dream to become civil servants, why after knowing about all these dangers we still persistent for our dream. well maybe the answer is we all still believe that things can be changed. here i want to quote a movie "secondhand lions":


"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in. "

and also a good one from our beloved einstein baba.

"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."

this is a dialogue from hindi movie

Chakravyuh mein ghusne se pehle
Before entering the circle of deceit,

kaun tha main aur kaisa tha,
who I was, and what I was,

yeh mujhe yaad hi na rahega.
I would not remember.

Chakravyuh mein ghusne ke baad,
After entering the circle of deceit,

mere aur chakravyuh ke beech,
(there was) between me and the circle,

sirf ek jaanleva nikat’ta thi,
only a deathly intimacy

iska mujhe pata hi na chalega.
that I never realised.

Chakravyuh se nikalne ke baad,
After leaving the circle of deceit,

main mukt ho jaoon bhale hi,
even if I am set free,

phir bhi chakravyuh ki rachna mein
the design of the circle of deceit,

farq hi na padega.
will hardly be different.

Marun ya maarun,
Whether I kill, or die,

maara jaoon ya jaan se maardun.
Am killed, or kill (the other)

iska faisla kabhi na ho paayega.
these questions will never be decided.

Soya hua aadmi jab
When a sleeping man

neend se uthkar chalna shuru karta hai,
awakes and steps forth,

tab sapnon ka sansar use,
then the world of dreams

dobara dikh hi na paayega.
may never be seen again (by him).

Us roshni mein jo nirnay ki roshni hai
In that, the light of Decision,

sab kuchh s’maan hoga kya?
will everything be level ?

Ek palde mein napunsakta,
On one tray (of a balance) is Impotence,

ek palde mein paurush,
and on the other is Manhood,

aur theek taraazu ke kaante par
and exactly at the needle point,

ardh satya.
a half-truth.
