Jammu | Dec 3
How the mini buses – easy and convenient mode of mobility in Jammu City is being misused by the mobile Romeos for inscribing indecent messages for the familiar girls, sometimes they even dare to highlight the telephone numbers of the girls. This is evident just after a ride in any minibus of any route.
It could perhaps be an easy and funny job for them, giving them a little satisfaction and pleasure but they have never bothered yet to weigh how much tension and anxiety is resultant to school going girls at their adolescent age.
All mini buses zooming on the busy roads of Jammu city have been decorated by such messy ‘graffiti’s like highlighting the name of a particular girl and her telephone number or indecent messages like Ankuh loves You, followed by a name of a particular girl. It’s only the first and second name that changes, rest with the mini buses plying within the city limits remains the same - the irritable, indecent messages for the girls who have no fault in all this ‘Messy Game of pictography.’
‘If any such girl accompanied with her relatives enters the minibus bearing a writing or notes with her name underlined, none can and ever guess the mental trauma she faces under that worst and unforgettable moments of her traveling in the mini bus, another school going girl said.
Talking to Early Times one commuter blaming the pseudo- modern society for all this told that the TV culture full of soap operas have contributed a lot in this the children are just becoming the copy cats of all this illusory world as served by the idiot box. “They simply do what they watch on TV as what one sees has more impact on one’s mind and thus as a matter of fact the boys and girls on the threshold of their adolescent age become an easy victim of such illusions hosted by TV world.
A girl student of Jain Higher Secondary School Old City without disclosing her name told the reporter that sometimes one feels embarrassed when the passenger sitting next to you deliberately starts reading these love lines mockingly. “ Being a girl, I simply can feel the mental stress and even the depression what a girl feels after seeing her telephone number and name displayed in a public vehicle,” she voiced it in a bitter tone, “and no one has come to our rescue till the date”.
When SSP Traffic Shafaqat A Watali was questioned about this, he told Early Times that until now his contingent has not received any such complaint but being a offence of different nature its falls under the jurisdiction of police. However he assured that his department shall take matter seriously if any one comes to him or to his department.
Adding to it he said, “in this society it is obligation expected from the older generations who must show the right path and I personally feel the parents must hold the hand of their wards in a better way so that they should not create problem for others just for their pleasure for a moment”. |
