Everyman with run of the road
The crossing of Rani Rashmoni Road and SN Banerjee Road
is one of the busiest junctions in the city, but no traffic
sergeant is deployed on this stretch. As a result, pedestrians
jaywalk, buses race with each other and cars are driven
recklessly. Such chaotic traffic also causes prolonged bottlenecks
on the busy road.

Power-ful
The CESC, it seems, is targeting common people to make
up for its revenue deficit. The maximum bills I have ever
received over the past 12 years were to the tune of Rs 1800
to Rs 2000. But the Rs 6000 bill that I have been slapped
with for May 2003 is shocking. How does the CESC account
for such an exorbitant amount when the power consumed in
my house was never so much? Consumers have no option but
to pay the amount in order to avoid disconnection of their
power lines, which is another weapon the power utility uses
to its advantage.
