A diffrent kind of JOKE;
Defunct AC in CM’s car raises hackles
Meerut, July 7
The failure of the air-conditioner in the Ambassador staff car — in which Chief Minister Mayawati travelled recently to the district — has again taken centre stage with the former seeking an explanation from the Chief Secretary.
The chief minister had suddenly descended on Baghpat on June 22 for an on-the-spot inspection of the Ambedkar villages. En route, the CM realised to her horror that the AC of the car was not working. The car (UP-32-Z-4305) was organised by the regional manager, UPSRTC. When the CM quizzed the driver, an employee of the UPSRTC, about the air-conditioner he came up with a rather tame explanation that the AC was operational only on high speed.
As chance would have it, the CM again travelled by that car on her way back. To her surprise, the fan in the car had also konked out. Initially, the district authorities sat over the matter, hoping that it would blow over. But that was not to be with the Chief Secretary sending a missive to the senior district officials, asking them to explain the circumstances in which the AC konked out and the persons responsible for requisitioning the car. In turn, the DM has sought an explanation from the UPSRTC officials.
Officials are tight-lipped over the episode but admit that stern action is likely to be taken for the faux pas. The Bulandshahr Khenja episode is recalled when the entire police department was shifted owing to an incident of alleged manhandling of the father of the chief minister by a local sub-inspector of Khurja Kotwali in August 2002.
