It there’s some ranking available for public discipline, God knows at what position we would be ranked, but surely we would be mentioned in some later position if not last.
Yesterday at Gujarat’s Jamnagar district sea coast, 12 people fell down in deep sea water due to breakdown of crane. The crane was deployed next to deep sea water for visarjan of Ganesha murtis. However instead of two or three fire brigade jawans, a whole lot of 12 persons stepped into the crane with Ganesha Murti.
What happened next was a disaster. All 12 felled down in sea water. Two of them are died. The photograph presented above was taken few seconds before the accident through mobile camera.
