Bureaucratic gaffes and purported or then should I say clerical errors can alter your status for eternity and more.......
Sukhbir Singh Badal's brainchild the much touted Suvidha Kendra in Abohar can certainly be credited with the dubious distinction of having committed the mother of all official gaffes/errors if the death certificate issued to the applicant certifying as her as deceased is any parameter to go by........
In an episode right out of the annals of "Ripley's Believe It Or Not"; 54 year old Mamta Rani a lifelong resident of Abohar was issued with her very own death certificate bearing her name and particulars by the afore mentioned Suvidha Kendra on June 7; 2016 instead of her dear departed husband Surinder Kumar who had succumbed to the grievous injuries suffered by him in a tragic road accident way back in November 2015........
Ms. Rani who went into a deep and largely self imposed depressive state following the untimely demise of the love of her life somehow or the other manged to restore some semblance of order in her life circa February 2016 and subsequently applied for her late husband's death certificate on February 7; 2016 in order to avail of the benefits that she was entitled to as per existing government rules and policies.......
She received an official communique from the concerned government department (read Suvidha Kendra) to the effect that the much sought after "death" certificate would be issued on or before April 7; 2016; and subsequently received a second registered letter from the same source intimating her of an official delay that had delayed the issual of the same till June 2016........
A semi literate at best; this long suffering widow's joy knew no bounds when she finally received the much sought "death" certificate on the forenoon of June 7;2016 and made a beeline towards the residence of former councillor Ramesh Dhaulpuria in order to acquaint herself with the ordained official benefits that she was entitled to as a widow and destitute left with no other means of income and livelihood........
Her unabashed and unbound joy soon turned to abject sorrow and consternation when the former councillor intimated her of the startling and perturbing fact that the officials of the now infamous Suvidha Kendra had issued a death certificate certifying her as deceased with effect from the date of application and hence put paid to her forlorn and despairing hopes and aspirations of laying her hands on the meagre benefits that she was entitled to........
She is now waging another tireless and doughty battle to alter her status from "deceased" to "alive and kicking" for the last three days by making repeated rounds of the bane of her existence that does not even have the humility and grace to tender an official apology to this hapless widow and set right it's glaring and unpardonable error forthwith.........
On the lighter side you now know whom to approach if you have any intentions whatsoever if you want find yourself added to the list of dear departed souls even though you are alive; kicking and more than making a fist of your exalted existence on planet earth..........
