Government held accountable

Some time back there was an unfortunate incidence in Mumbai's muncipal hospital. A new born child was stolen from the hospital. Feeling that due efforts are not being done by police and municipal authorities the couple had pleaded to Mumbai High Court. Passing stringent remarks on the negligence by these two agencies, it also commented that actually the officers need to be sent for such an extreme negligence. The court directed government to pay Rupees 10 lakhs (1 million) to the couple as interim relief to the couple till the child is found out.

This may further an era of accountability in government functioning !

internet is becoming a stronger base these days from where we can keep everyone accountable.. i came across sites like voteindia.in or jagooore.com where the vox populi is accounting the government.
