Law for whom?

Our law enforcing agencies are either toothless or not dutifully capable. Law prescribes that no Chinese kite strings are to be used, but youngsters use these with impunity, resulting in serious injuries, even death. No stubble is to be burnt, but people resort to it, unmindful of its ill-effects. Triple riding on two-wheelers is a no-no, but youngsters do it all the time, even as they ride without helmet. Load carriers are not supposed to carry passengers, but we find many of these carrying passengers for some events, dera gatherings, or religious pilgrimage. Gun culture is evident at marriage palaces and gang wars are openly taking place. The police is helpless because the culprits are well connected. Buses, specially those run by politicians, speed with scant regard to road sense or traffic rules. Many lives have thus been lost. The government, I feel, is the real culprit. Are we living in an uncivilised society, or the government and law enforcing agencies are mute spectators?
