Building incapability, encouraging inneficiency

The government’s science-technology schemes don’t work towards outcomes, they are more concerned about disbursement of funds
Think of a crime scene: The police reach with a hand-held device, record the statements of witnesses, take photographs and videos, prepare the first information report (FIR) and eventually send these to the court data repository via wireless broadband.
Guess what? Bangalore police squandared a good piece of technology that they could have used. I am extremely disturbed by how we treat home grown technology which can lead to a safer city. Again the generation of inept people governing our cities are to blame.

More or less the same fate

More or less the same fate that befell the
service. But, whereas crime detection can't be privatised, in the case of bus services, the answer is straight-forward.
