Ground Reality: Water Scarcity, Gas Black Marketing, and the Dream of Becoming a ‘World Leader’!
In today’s world, when we wake up in the morning, headlines flash with words like “world leader” and “global power.” But when we go to the kitchen, we find an empty cylinder and turn on the tap, we yearn for a drop of water. The Iran-Israel war is raging across the seven seas, but under its cover, looting is rampant in our streets and neighborhoods.
From Water to Gas: A ‘Pandemic’ Everywhere
On one hand, we are planting our flag on the moon, while on the other, ordinary citizens in our own country are grappling with a ‘pandemic’ situation for basic needs:
The ‘Black Hole’ of Gas: Cylinder prices were already sky-high, but now the black marketing that has begun in the name of war has broken our backs. The sale of a cylinder for ₹3,000, and the theft of 2-4 kg of gas from it, shows how powerful the mafia is right under the system’s nose.
Drying Throats: Water problems are no longer just a summer issue. From cities to villages, clean drinking water is becoming a luxury. Tanker mafias rule, and ordinary people stand in queues with buckets.
‘Vishwa Guru’ vs. Grassroots Struggle
The question arises: will Digital India and global rankings alone satisfy our hunger?
Hollow Pledge or Harsh Truth? We claim to solve the world’s problems, but we are unable to curb the ‘gas mafia’ and ‘water mafia’ in our own country.
The Cancer of Black Marketing: When disaster strikes, some among us turn into vultures and start looting the pockets of ordinary people. Selling a cylinder for ₹3,000 is not just a business, but a crime against humanity.
The administration’s silence: Governments make plans, but they die before they reach the kitchen from the files.
When will the picture change?
The path to becoming a “world leader” doesn’t just lie through tall buildings or foreign tours. It lies through every home’s kitchen and every thirsty person’s glass. Until the common man has access to gas at reasonable prices and free clean water, all these claims of development will remain incomplete.
We must understand that along with digital advancement, the “delivery system” must also be improved. Otherwise, we may reach space, but will be left fighting among ourselves for basic necessities on the ground.
