The attitude of public servants

Gaurav Sabnis has blogged about an example of the sensibility of public servants in US in his latest post http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/NMnB/~3/dPVlm56tU9Y/public-servants-america-vs-india.html.

In Mumbai, Cops are routinely seen travelling in Ladie's 1st Class compartments of local trains, obviously to escape the bone crushing crowds in Gent's 1st Class ( and one can't even imagine them of travelling 2nd Class !), though to give them credit, they never enter the compartment and travel at the entrance / footboards. This is taken as par for course.

Of late, I have been seeing cops travelling in the compartment reserved for handicapped. This "compartment" is only one seat wide and meant for handicapped or those suffering from life-threatening diseases such as cancer. Public servants inconveniencing handicapped / sick people by encroaching even upon this meagre space makes a grim contrast with the attitude Gaurav has observed in NY.
