Probes and Inquiries

A recent stampede in U.P killed as many as 63. This is today's front page news. And this news would be featured in the newspapers till they get another sensational news and once for all the whole issue would be put to rest.
Chief Minister ordered a high level inquiry into the incident. I really wonder about the purpose of the probe and the inquiries. What good it would do to the injured or the family who lost their dear ones. Is the purpose to study the cause to avoid future accidents or just to give employment to the retired IAS and other government officials. When the commissions or the so-called committees finish the inquiry, the whole issue would have been completely forgotten both by the public and the politicians and it would just occupy a page-12 column in the leading newspaper.
It is wise to teach fishing rather giving them fish. This has to be the mantra of all the religious and other charitable trusts. Why give freebies to the poor in the name of donation and make them stand like some cattle waiting for their turn. Instead, they can identify the poor and needy and hand-over them the necessities. I agree, its not an easy task, but why go for the number without any real purpose, rather go for few where you can make hell lot of difference in their lives.
