What happened in Cuttack isn’t just another viral outrage. It’s a textbook case of governance failure. A truck carrying chicken gets mistaken for cow meat, and within minutes, a mob becomes judge, jury, and executioner. No verification, no restraint, no fear of consequences.

Here’s the thing, mob justice doesn’t rise in a vacuum. It thrives where law enforcement is either absent, slow, or lacks credibility. When citizens start believing rumors over institutions, the system has already collapsed at some level.

An entrepreneur loses his livelihood, not because of market risks, but because the state couldn’t guarantee basic order. That’s the real story.

Every such incident isn’t random chaos. It’s a signal. A reminder that when governance weakens, mobs don’t just appear, they take over.

-> Supreme Court has made TET (Teacher Eligibility Test) MANDATORY even for those recruited before TET was introduced.

If they fail to clear it within two years, their jobs will be gone.

Teachers from across the country gathered at Ramlila Maidan YESTERDAY to protest against this directive.

This is turning into a serious flashpoint, especially ahead of UP elections.

UP Govt needs to address this anger carefully and find a balanced solution. Otherwise, anger may be diverted towards the state Govt.
