“Air India plane catches fire while in the air” is one of the terrifying headlines of today’s news. Two days back the news was that the newly appointed top man of Air India has declared on his first day in the assignment that Air India planes should be the shiniest of them all. One wishes he had said ‘the safest of them all’.
I remember a few years back a newly appointed top chap of the then Air-India ordered all the planes of Air India to be got re-painted with a new logo. It must have cost a packet. One wishes the same amounthad been spent in improving the safety standards.
Yet a few more years back, a newly appointed MD of the state owned ITDC ordered the iconic Ashoka Hotel in Delhi’s exteriors to be white washed from the then existing red stones (yes with white paint).
The same skewed priority can be seen in the Railways. Instead of focusing on safety and cleanliness, the endevour is to run trains faster and faster...
Yeh kya Anaap-Shnaap ho raha hai.........
