ONE-WHEELING - A GAME OF DEATH

WHAT IS ONE-WHEELING & WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

One-wheeling is a madness of teenagers and youngsters.  These  crazy Motorcyclists can be found displaying their dangerous stunts on busy roads at night and riding their bikes on the back-wheels and zig-zagging at highest level of speed. Most of the One-wheelers belongs to the richest/landlord families, where no check & balance found over kids about their outside activities and these guys have lot of money to spend on different type of activities to fulfill their desires to excel over others and making themselves prominent besides they are venting out their frustrations by attracting people towards them because they are badly spoiled and neglected by the busiest schedule of parents/families.

This is a big question mark that who is responsible for this deathly sport.? There is not a single person responsible for this, first of all starting from parents, then Government, Law enforcement agencies, society and illiterary bad company are all the valid reasons for the development of this deathly game. 

Initially,  this deathly practice was comon in big cities like Lahore, Karachi etc, where these dare devils are often seen during day and night on the  back wheels of bikes doing juggling and other dangerous tricks without Silencers divided into groupings.

But now this curse is very comon in our peaceful city Bahawalpur  which came into fashion some 5 to 7 years before, due to this deathly practice so many young boys killed or become disable for whole life and mothers have lost their sons  as a consequence.  These bikers are openly and darely breaks the law without any fear of authorities on the roads of Bahawalpur like Welcome Chowk Road, Ahmedpur Road, Circular Road, Central Liabrary Chowk Road, Gulberg Road and Islamia University Road New Campus are  most favourite spots for riding bikes.

In this regard, The Government of Punjab,  especially very much popular and famous Chief Minister of Punjab, Mr. Shahbaz Sharif,  has taken effective steps against this chronic issue, by legislating  a law and passing it through Punjab Assembly for the prevention of One-wheeling by the enforcement of law, through this law, crackdown should be launched soon against not only One-wheelers but their parents will also be punished with heavy penalties besides punishment to the bikers. 

BUT here question arises that who will implement / enforce the law?  Obviously, the TRAFFIC POLICE  will implement the law by strict vigilance on roads. But unfortunately and regretfully observed that traffic police starts crackdown only for one or two days for the completion of paperwork or preperation of files against One-wheelers, and then; they perform their duties as a "SILENT SPECTATOR", although it is including in their duties to control the One-wheeling by reaching on the spot and take strict action against culprits and handed over to the Court.

This is apathy / indifference of society,  that parents do not pay attention to this important human issue, while a large number of mothers have lost their children in heavy road accidents which are common.  

In the end, I would like to say Welcome to the recently deputed D.P.O. Bahawal Pur MR.ASHFAQ AHMED KHAN through this column as Mr.Ashfaq Ahmed Khan  is young energetic and dynamic personality who wants to eliminate crimes from Bahawalpur and we have high expectations that he will stop this game of death like One-wheeling in real sense with enforcement of law by the concerned authorities and take prayers of millions of mothers as well as people of Bahawalpur city to  nab the boys before their ultimate end comes;(death).

"BUT LET'S THINK WHAT BOYS GET FROM THIS ACTIVITY.".
