Rickshaw issue
Though redundant, this is a long debated issue. The ominous flooding of the city by rickshaws is one glaring example of how both the DCC and the govt can be shamefully indifferent to our rural unemployment problem. Yes, that the rural people are not starving to death is not because of the govt's good planning or programmes but because they have learnt to survive.
The rickshaw problem in the city will never go because just as parents of a dozen children never care for their feeding and leave them to their own fate, thus absolving themselves of the 'sin' of bringing so many hungry mouths in this world, so do our governments leave the rural unemployed population to their own fate - say for the easiest self-employment by rickshaw pulling because they don't have either willingness or vision to provide rural employment opportunities.
Therefore, rickshaws are never to come down in number. Rest assured our rheumatic brothers and sisters who do not even bother to take a few steps to the foot over-bridges, despite the great risk of getting overrun on the road.
