The preconceived notion about Ranchi, the capital city of Jharkhand,
the then part of Bihar, being unstable state since its bifurcation in the year 2002were
done away with one by one. The often leveled charge by irresponsible politicians
and some academicians (so called experts)that the Union government(All India
Congress) has done nothing in its sixty long years rule is a white lie which
many in this country do not fail to buy without proper investigations. The city
and the railway station last I visited was in the year 1992.The state
government has nothing to do with improvisation to the present railway station.
Though only four number of plate forms but the neatness, the well designed and
furnished waiting halls ,the reservation counters, the management and operation
of incoming and outgoing trains, shopping centres along plate form one ,the IRCTC run
restraunts, quality and variety of foods and their service impressed me most. The
provision of Amul products of Gujrat of all shorts in affordable prices, the quality
sweats, tea and coffee added beauty to everything. All on first plate form
(ground floor).The Yatriniwas ,the air conditioned waiting hall were new
addition readily available to passengers at reasonable rates. The much liked
pure sattu made of roasted gram available at a rate of Rs.100/offered
Ayurvedic succor. Three cheers to the
Railways.
The cleanness in the
city , by and large ,was satisfactory and a visitor finds improvement. The
large scale sale of very fresh leachy at a rate ranging from Rs.55-60 fascinated
me to buy Kgs of it for family and friends. The large scale availability of
services of Rickshaw pulled by gentle sober laborers /men at a very cheap rate
was another feather in the cap , one scented an experience of serene peace which was also victimized
by nonstop chanting of Bhajans,vanees by none but fanatics (religious zealots )specially
the Gurudwaras with hardly any presence of devotees inside and run virtually
for business purposes. The roof top mike chants suggested their corrupt
devotions as against environment, constitution, law of the land, laws governing
hotels, noise pollution, starting since 0300 hrs. in the morning to 0400 hours and again 1530 to 1800 hours. If
hell being enacted on the earth how one can hope getting heaven here after? The
sweats at soaring prices were sore and adulterated. The education was decried
and hated.
The Governor/president rule was talk o the town. The Governor `s meticulous governances over
shadowed the rule by the representative and public who wished the absence of
public representative from the scene of the administration. The community of advocates,
the bureaucracy, their officials, and the mischief mongers (the manipulators of
corrupt practices.)Confirmed this .All but the politicians wanted the
continuance of this rule. It was argued that not the president rule came as
panacea but the person on the seat and his clean conscience percolated down the
lane and by lanes of administration and public governance in the capital.
So was the admiration of the working of the present Chief
Justice of the High court Ranchi. The silver lining in dark cloud of Indian
society is always there .The cowards succumb to corrupt ways &injustices
and wise, honest, principled &braves invent the solutions.
