Me  and watermelon
-----------------------------
My home( Dimple )  is by the side of the main road where traffic block is a usual phenomena.The road is narrow and the vehicles  are thousands.Two ladies had lost their life one year back.People protested and then forgot.Opposite to my home and by the left side of the road Waterlemon is dumped for sale.Passengers stop there and  purchase retail and whole sale.Due to the compulsion of my every day I one day telephoned to the Vilappilsala Police station and introduced my self and told the complaint.The man who took the phone reacted with moderate respect  and assured immediate action.But even after 2 weeks nothing happened and the waterlemon sales were flourishing.I once again called them.Then the S I explained that the left side of the road does not come to their jurisdiction and it comes  in the limit of Malayinkil police station.I called them.They also  reacted  with moderate respect and assured  action.I waited for another 2 weeks.Nothing again happened.Manasikamayi enikku valaiya ksheenamayi.I noticed that the local public has no voice and response.
Fortunately enough I was invited to inaugurate the annual day of Golf club(Kowdiar)residence association .Mr.Hemachandran Southern Range IG.of police was also for the function as he is one of the VIP residents of that Association.I told him what happened.After the function was over I  returned to my home.Wonderfully enough  the waterleamons have disappeared.After that no sales at all and the road side is free from any kind of sales(tender coconut,waterlemon etc)
It was only due to my friendship with higher Police officers that my request  found successful.My Residents Association ( where I am the Chief Patron )was  also silent on these issues.Any way I found success in this issue and saved my pretige.

  1. :) .... Our Govt should do something about these roadside vendors...Either the Govt should give permanent spots for them on the basis of monthly rent, or they should be moved from roadsides to some other places...
