I felt really sad for the “real heroes” after following the Mumbai Rampage for about 60 hours. NSG Commandos, MARCOS, Police, ATS and Fire Brigade were the real heroes who took on the responsibility of saving the nation and lives of countrymen from this devastating attack. Politicians and bureaucrat are only for the purpose of sepnding our tax money for their luxuries.

Often many Governments invite various superstars to their State. For them, they will arrange best car for transport, they will sponsor them a business class seat on airlines but our NSG commandos have to wait and travel in BEST buses – even after their outstanding performance. They saved us. Shouldn’t they be given special treatment as a way of saying “thank you”? Shouldn’t there be a better mode of transport. They were on the grounds for 60 hours – fighting with terrorists in all odds, in middle of fire, bullets flying everywhere, grenades being launched but without even thinking of their own life they were there trying to save us and what have we given back to them?

It took them 9 and half hour from the first fire to start their operation. The reason – bad planning of the Government. NSG Commandos are based at Delhi, they were woken up from their sleep and got ready as soon as they can with all their arms and ammunations. It was then that the officials realised that an aircraft that is capable of flying 200 commandos was not in Delhi but was at Chandigarh. The pilot was woken up and then commandos were waiting for the aircraft in Delhi. Now the flying speed of this aircraft is not great. It took nearly 3 hours to reach them to Mumbai and then they boarded on BEST buses and it took them 40 minutes to reach to the site from the Airport.

The other argument could be, if you expect our NSG commandos to travel in BEST buses, why not our politicians? They are also suppose to “serve” the nation. What is so great about them? Why do they have to travel with all comforts?
