It Happens Only in India…………………………..

National Highway 2 & 3 has a very popular and cheap mode of Transport ” Jugaad” so very Indian, We are really good at it isn’t it…the name is so immaculate. Hats off to whoever thought of it. Though it goes to show that we are really ‘Smart’ people and a common man can do the same thing what took Ratan Tata years i.e. introduce a vehicle for everyone affordable and maintenance free.

The flip side is that this so called Jugaad Gaadi is a death wheel on the Highway and No RTO or Traffic Police has ever tried to control the mushrooming number of this vehicle. This gaadi is merely made of the Electric Generator (which works as the engine), Tyre and wooden cart. It has no headlight, indicator or even a Registration Number. So if there is an accident which, happens quite often, it be will be next to impossible to catch the culprit as there is “No” vehicle or registration number.

Jugaad is very popular amongst the commoners on these highways as they are the cheapest and most convenient mode of transport. However, they don’t understand that the ultimate cost is their life. The three photographs above clearly shows the popularity of this vehicle. One other photograph captures the condition of our state Transport buses where the passengers are sitting on the roof of the Bus. Well, let me tell you that these passengers are Not traveling for free, with high risk of life and no proper timing of the state transport.. more and more passengers are resorting to alternate , affordable transport. Do we hope that the New Government will look into this seriously?
