"He has to go play."
Says the mother, clutching the bat of her son, Vihan, 11, who died after a tree fell on the school bus he was travelling in, in Mumbai. She says her son will return and go play, just as he did every day after school.
All of you, especially those who have children, can imagine the unbearable pain she must be going through. You bring a life into this world. You love them, nurture them, teach them values, witness their first smile, their first word, watch them run into your arms when you come home from work, and create countless precious memories. Once you become a parent, your children become your entire world. The thought of losing them is something no parent should ever have to endure.
This fate would still have been understandable had it been a truly unavoidable accident. But, as usual, there were warning signs. Residents of the area where the tree fell on the bus had repeatedly complained to the BMC about the condition of the trees.
In fact, the Garden Dept of BMC had also warned the Road Dept of BMC that road excavation was damaging tree roots, making the trees vulnerable to collapse during the monsoon. It asked them to stop digging near roots, remove the debris and warned it would be held responsible if any tree fell. But it wasn't taken seriously.
Now, the mayor has ordered an inquiry. Now, tree pruning will begin. Now, every necessary action will be taken. Sarkari kaam hota hai, lekin balidaan ke baad. Vihan ne balidaan de diya hai. Ab kuch dino tak sab kaam honge.
Tanta güevonada que se habla de este país y mírenlos, pura gente seria y comprometida, la próxima vez que hablen de la India recuerden que esa gente en pleno mierdero envió un hospital de campaña

Such old news being recirculated and pushed in India shows desperation and signals China's psyops on Indians is failing. And it is failing with just a handful of Indians taking up the cause. Imagine what will happen if India chooses to do what China does in infowar :)
