Govt. Treat us as slaves

Few days back I heared the news about Shahrukh Khan fighting with
Stadium security and they banned him from entering the stadium for
next five years. SRK said that the reason behind all this was his
denial to give protocol to the families of the stadium officials!

I am writing about this coz few s
Days back I encountered a same situation while managing a cricket
match in Gujrat. The government officials and security personnel were
suppose to help us in controlling the crowd and in checking their
tickets while entering the ground ! Ad they were on the gates, they
tried to get benefit from this opportunity by allowing their friends
in stadium without tickets ! And in some cases they took Rs. 100 per
head to enter illegally in the ground ! This activity was reported to
the management team by gate staff and when we took action on this and
got harsh with the accused. They took it against us and started
creating problems for us ! They first of all stopped our movement
between the enclosures, they stopped managing the crowd and
resultantly it got out of control! Even it got out from their
control ! At the end the crowd won and they entered the ground by
climbing the walls with ropes and by breaking the gates ! Security and
police just saw that happening and allowed them in ! Due to this the
event became an example of mismanagement! Security was flawed ! We
hardly took the players into the ground. Pavilions were filled with
people! And there was no space for players to sit !

Hence, it was a total mess ! Just because we didn't allow them to
misuse their authority!

Security and police should help us as we are paying them through our
taxes but they think that they are above law !
