NO MORE citizens shall die on the city's roads at the expense of the government. These words were echoed by scores of Delhiites as they staged a candlelight protest at Central Park in Connaught Place on Sunday What started as a protest by a handfill soon turned into a big commemoration, absorbing random visitors in the park in the campaign. Protestors denounced Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and shouted anti government slogans. "When we started this protest, we were a total of 20 people. About 50 more have joined us here and we are finding more supporters with each passing minute," said Bhavani Shankar, a protestor, adding, "If you think we are protesting against the government, you are missing the point. This is an uprising against the bad running of the government, not the government. The purpose of this protest is to highlight the acute crisis of governance in the city. There are citizens dying on the road day after day and nothing is being done. It is shocking how 96 people have been mowed down by Blueline buses in the last eight months," said Manoj Mishra, convenor of Yamuna Jiye Abhiyan, another issue touched upon during the protest. Citizens observed two minutes' silence in remembrance of this year's 96 Blueline victims and pledged they would do something to bring about a change in the system. "We must let the government know that if it will not take steps to improve things, we, as citizens, know how to make our voices heard," said Kapil Mishra, a protestor.
