It’s a rare thing these days somebody occupying high office quitting his post owning moral responsibility if something goes wrong in his area of work.
About seven months ago, we had a Union Minister unwilling to vacate his position even after killings of over 180 people in what could be termed as most ferocious terror attack in recent times in Mumbai last year.
Don’t want to blame the Minister in particular, but most of the politicos or top bureaucrats, occupying posts asking for greater responsibilities, unfortunately try to save their skins during such untoward events.
E Sreedharan, honored with country’s fourth highest civilian award Padma Shri for his contribution towards railways, on Sunday resigned as Delhi Metro chief taking responsibility of a mishap at a DMRC construction site which claimed five lives.
The incident indeed is a sad one. However, Metro Man Sreedharan has set a right example for those brazen-faced politicians/bureaucrats who look to serve their own interests even when the common man, for whom they are supposed work, has to reel under severe hardships.
