A day at the check post

On » Tuesday, May 5, 2009 //
Our truck had meet with an accident today. Another truck carrying bauxite collided with it. It happened in the night so there were no spectators. Don't know how and what happened but I think it was the other drivers fault because the other truck had turned upside down on the road itself.Our driver fled fearing that his Saukar will scold him.
While my uncle went to bring another driver I had to spend the rest of the day at the 'FOREST CHECK POST' near Hindalga. I was sitting wright beside the officer. Every five minutes a truck drivers would come and pay him Rs 10 /- to Rs15/- depending upon the material that they carried. There was another officer and both of them were shamelessly discussing about the profits and shares of higher officers.They had even hired a boy to do their work of filling in the challans etc.For a moment I felt like give him two tight slaps but then something stopped me from doing it. I even thought of taking a pic with my cybershot phone.
There was another truck whose forest pass time limit had expired. Those guys were in gr88 trouble and would have had to pay roughly about Rs 5000/-. It is the officer who saved them. He asked them to pay whatever they had in their pockets. It is this incident that made me change my mind. After all they were doing good for the businessmen and the truck owners. Saving their money and contributing to the business profit while taking their own share.


Have a nice,

Cheers!!
