Is it not the same story repeating for so many years. Its on everyone's mind these days. When you walk into a PSU bank you are greeted by a rude remark by the security. You are totally dismissed by the employee for asking a small request. I had asked to cancel a DD and the answer i got was "I am busy come back tomorrow". This happened in a SBI branch present inside the campus of a well known university. The security literally pushed me away and abused me. I didnt protest and quitely walked away but the treatment was very different when i visited a private bank or a MNC. The same experience when i visited Passport offices, RTO offices, Income Tax office, Port Trust office, VAO, Electricity Board or any other essential service. Even Indian Railway employees, Indian Airline ground staff, Bus services everywhere the end customers (general public) are treated very bad. They are rude arrogant and discourteous to perform their assigned job (Corruption need not be mentioned at all) Some loss making sectors are also covered by the govt using our tax money. Arent PSU employees accountable at all? We are the general public and they are public servants but then why are we treated so shabilly everywhere. Job gurantee is one of the social evils of India and hence everyone becomes lethargic to carry out their duties. We need major reforms and disinvestments in all the public sectors. Poor people can be protected by regulating the prices. Infact some services PSU's have improved after they have been privatized. We citizens should strongly protest in front of communist parties across India whenever there is a strike by govt employees to desist privatization.
