Blame it on the bell boy.

Few days back the news was that a van carrying primary school going children of a private school over turned after skidding off the road near Kancheepuram.Miraculously no child was killed . All of them escaped with minor injuries and that the van driver was absconding . He fled the accident scene immediately to escape the ire of passers-by and the children's parents . This is second such incident in this month.

The next day the follow up news was that the sleuths[ 'Sherlock Holmes' ] of the police department unearthed not the where abouts of the van driver but the fact that the school to which all those tiny tots were proceeding to, was functioning without formal recognition and that the government swooped swiftly to shut down all such schools.

I am confounded by the brazen act of the government.Instead of enforcing the laws strictly whilst granting driving licences ,pulling up traffic police men who turn a blind eye to flagrant violation of traffic rules,for example allowing motorists of two wheelers to place their helmets like a trophy on the petrol tank and not on their heads which it is intended to protect, putting in place measures to control over speeding and ensuring sincere and effective policing and quick nabbing of offenders ,the govt has pounced on a totally unrelated issue i.e whether the school those innocent children were proceeding to has received govt recognition or not!

The screwy logic put forth is that the school van was racing towards a English medium Matriculation school [that wasn't recognized]that was faraway in preference to a nearby govt ,school. Hence the factual existence of that school was prime cause of the mishap!

The quality of education imparted does require scrutiny but does that take precedence over the life of tiny tots entrusted into the custody of errant drivers emboldened by lax enforcement of traffic rules?
