There are many a occasions when one could get surprised&wondering why the standard of
Polititics is diminishing day by day.
Of course ,I am referring to an incident in which the leaders of Politics even
startedplaying Politics even without sparing the colours recognised by different Parties.
This Blog is purely based on Media Reports which says in one state even the colour of
Beacon Lights on Vehicles were a ordered to be changed because of allergy of one
party to the recognised colour of another party.
The sufferer &victim is red colour.
The background of the story is like this:
The Apex Court of India had recently siggested to all the State Governments to
reduce drastically the list of VIPs who are authorised to use Beacon Lights on their
vehicles.
Accordingly,the %Transport Department recognised the Governor of States,the Chief
Minister,the Ministers of the Council of Ministers,the Chairman of Legislative
council,the Speaker of the Legislative Council,the Chief Justice,the sitting Judges
of the Highcourts of Karnataka,were recognised as eligible to use Red Beacons on their
official Vehicles.
This notification comes under the provisions of the Rule108 of the Central Motor
Vehicles Act 1989.This rule provides for empowering the States to recognise and
specify dignitaries&the Vehicles on which the Red Lights can be used.
The Supreme Court made the remarks to do away with by curbing the increased use
of Beacon Lights.According to the Affidavit furnished by the Department to the Apex
Court,the leaders of Oppositionin Legislative Assembly& council,the Deputy Chairman
of the State Planning Boards,theChief Secretary,the Karnataka Lokayuktha,Mayors of
City Corporations,Chairmen of Boards&Corporations,Deputy Commissioners,Presidents of
Zilla Parishads,and Top Police Officers are not Eligible to use them.
The aforesaid Rule 108 of Act 1989,Blue Lights with or without Flash can be used
by only Vehicles escorting high Dignitaries as specified.
On the basis of the directive from the Apex court the Chief Minister of West Bengal
who has allergy towards Redcolour who also sometimes is stated to assume rhe form
"Devi" is planning to do away with Red colour light , insisting just for the Governor
alone,&for all others who usually use red color should replace it Green colors.
Similar incidents were there in the eatlier regime of Karnataka Chief Minister.
The colours are innocent.Red,Blue,Geeen,Yellow& all colors of Rainbow are generally recognised by every Indian from time imemorial.
The Red colour is more widely used to for traffic signals all over the world.
Thank God thev Chief Minister of WB when she was the Minister of Raiways did not make use of her allergy to change the signals from red to green&Green to Blue.
Let us await the final outcome of the issue
