Can a leopard ever change it's spots, well the unthinkable might happen once in a lifetime or so, but is a strict no no in the case of the stenoritarian and authoritarian Delhi Police as it's attempt to adopt a far more cheerful and citizen friendly approach through the social media ended up falling flat on it's face.........
In stark contrast to it's usual school marmish and churlish posts, the Delhi Police this time around tried a volte face and put our or circulated a post buzzing with cheer, bonhomie and in a lingo that seems to abound on social networks........
"GOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOOOORNING FOLKS" went the Delhi Police's citizen friendly initiative and the same was also punctuated by a series of "Hear, Hear, Hear's" for good measure............
Alas, the new found sense of camaraderie and bonhomie was punctured in an instant as the fine print attached to the post mentioning details of the number of people fined for not carrying a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate soon drew the Delhiite's ire and consternation"..........
A few of the profanities and epithets used by irate and confounded Dilliwallahs cannot even be mentioned in the course of this facebook post as they are a little too uncomplimentary and descriptive for comfort, all I will endeavour to say is that a significant majority of all such posts would have surely had the architect of the Delhi Police's new found initiative retreating with undue haste............
In fact, a few Dilliwaala's even went to the extent of remarking that the Delhi Police seems to have outsourced it's website to a few scions of it's senior officials and they are indeed having a gala time trying to confuse the common man by making misplaced and furtive attempts to sugar coat a bitter and distasteful pill...........
Sample this response for good measure, "Saalon ka subah, subah dimaag kharaab ho gaya hai, aur ab inhone PUC certificates ke baarey main posts bhejne shuru kar diye hain; kuch kaam kyon nahin karte aur bhrasht netaaon ko kyon nahin pakadtey".............
Damned if they do and damned if they don't, the Delhi Police bigwigs must surely be a their wits end trying to conjure up their next citizen friendly "successful" initiative............
