million dollar dustbins!

Well not exactly a million but the BMC is planning to import bomb-proof dustbins, each costing Rs 72,000! Delhi is eyeing see-through bins for waste disposal and am sure they too won't come cheap.

The money could be spent on more interesting objects:

Budget: Rs 72,000

Allocation: IBM laptop Rs 50,000

Mont Blanc pen: Rs 20,000

Dining at La Piazza restuarant at Hyatt Regency (serves the best Italian in town): Rs 2,000 (Don't I need to celebrate the new laptop and the pen?)

Or we could appeal to whoever is mooting these dustbinny ideas to spend the money on fixing roads, de-silting drains or buying more surveillance equipment to prevent terrorist attacks!

Utopian Ideas
This type of defeatist thoughts of our government gives a phillip to the terrorists morale. Instead of looking at ways to prevent that bag of bomb from getting into a dustbin in the first place, our government is thinking of spending the tax payers money on utopian ideas. What a shame..
