Corrupt state governance

It is a well known fact that Chennai does not get enough rains during rainy season for obvious reasons such as cutting trees and vehicular pollution.

But even with occassional rains and drizziling, residents experience problems. 

Last week I saw a 6 inches long centipede (known as 'Pooraan' in Tamizh) as shown in the following image, coming out from the washbasin near my kitchen:

This morning I saw a centipede of the same length coming out from the sink hole in my bathroom. I tried to send it back into the sinkhole by spraying a strong insecticide, pouring Harpic toilet cleaner on the cebtipede etc., but in vain. Eventially I had no option; I had to repeatedly hit the cenripede with the toilet brush to crush it's body.

I think that Chennai Metro Corporation Sewage Department and cleaners are not doing their job by cleaning underground sewages properly and frequently to prevent breeding of centipedes.

Irresponsible politicians, irresponsible Government officers and workers should be punished severely by our courts of law. Unfortunately, it never happens. 

Residents don't even complain against such incidents and they vote for political parties just by being taken away by untrue manifestoes by lousy politicians provided the fact that DMK has a long history of being one of the most corrupt political parties in our country.
