OOPER KEE KAMAI SAY HE GUZARA

Whenever an institution is created and established, the creators prepare a blue print -Why the institution is created, what will be expectations from that institution, and what will be function and duties of persons who man such an institution.
Decades before, I must have heard english proverb, 'cart before horse'. For the first time, but its meaning I have clearly understood now.
With great enthusiasm we elected thousands of punchs and surpunches but without knowing any thing about their job.
These elections were interpreted differently by different people,but the fact is they created a hope.
Since these people do not know what are they expected to do,they are individually trying to create a job profile for themselves. They are elected but do not know anything about their duties, have no remuneration, and have started making a fortune out of uncertainities.It is reported they have become 'sufarishies' for a price. They interfere in govt functioning, one punch reportedly even went to the extent of closing down a school. Another reportedly thrashed a block official. Some of them are seen permanently in tehsil offices. It appears govt has taken a lesson from an old story related to Maharaja of Chenani, the story goes as follows:
Maharaja appointed an IGP who was a retired DSP of Maharaja Hari singh's police. Chenani had no criminal code or criminal law, and thus the IGP was law to himself and he was enjoying. The only worry he had was that he was not getting his salary, so he made an application after six months to Maharaja for release of his salary.
It is said Maharaja wrote in reply to his application - KHAZANAY KEE HALUT PUTLEE HAI FILHAL OOPER KEE KAMAI SAY HE GUZARA CHALAYA JAAYE.
