The sudden surge of the anti auto-rickshaw campaign, courtesy, Kolkata High Court, has given the city and its denizens another new issue to talk about. This subject, however, connects to the endangered welfare of the ecosystem and so deserves special mention and discussion as well.
Surprisingly, it took unexpectedly long to enforce the law of taking illegally running autos off from the city roads. Amidst clouds of polluted black air spewing out from the tailpipe of the three wheelers, thanks to the kaata tel funda, I feel my metabolic system being nastily overturned whenever I encounter one of those monster vehicles and what with older people of my parents' age! Myopics are gifted with several more layers of smoky dust, weak-hearts get blood pressure surges, chronic lung patients and dust allergies cough a lot more and even the most robust of mortals see a marked decline in their overall health system.
Had the West Bengal Government been a bit more cautious about their duties and responsibilities, there could have been much cleaner air to breathe in this city. Having abetted the plying of illegal autos (be it two stroke or five sitters or kaata tel feeders) for over two decades, the ruling party has encouraged outlawry, air pollution and a rise in physical maladies. This is an earnest plea to the government : wake up and take the blame on yourself and act accordingly to make the already dying city a better place to breathe in. Now!
