Bukad News: GREAT RIP OFF BY AUTO DRIVERS ALL OVER

Thursday 1 September 2011

Today is the day to rip off pious citizens all over. If you happen to be carrying a Ganesh Idol and board an auto the driver would demand Rs. 111/-.

They are aware that people will not refuse lest they invite the wrath of Lord Ganesh.

I wonder how the Auto drivers are spared by the Lord. ?

INTRODUCTION

BUKAD literally means Badlapur, Ulhasnagar, Kalyan, Ambernath and Dombivili. Our historical towns were once prosperous and cosmopolitan. We were part of the Maurya and Gupta empires, the Yadavas, the Marathas, the Moghuls and the Portuguese.
We had direct trade through sea with Persia and Mesopotamia i.e. Iran and Iraq even Bombay port was established. We’ve had Christian missionaries dropping in on their way to China, The Parsi’s too had settled here.
The famous temples like the Shiv Mandir, Kodeshwar temple, Vithal temple are still intact because of the efforts of the common man.
Today BUKAD is considered a part of the Greater Mumbai metropolitan agglomeration, along with Navi Mumbai, Thane and Bhiwandi.
Unfortunately today we are at the mercy of bukkads, the corrupt have ruined us, and we simply accept this as a part of our normal lives.
Today with Anna Hazare showing the way, our Politicians cannot carry on like an Ostrich with its head buried in the sand. I guess we have a great M.P. and MLA’s unfortunately it is the ones below them that are responsible for the mess we are living in.
We would take this blog with all your comments to our elected guardians and revert to you. Please do not use abusive language but definitely this is a blog to vent your ire on the misfortunes bestowed upon us by the corrupt.
