While in government/semi-government service, if you have a good relationship with other people, then it can prove to be very useful in a crisis situation. This incident happened to me when I was working in Sojat City (District Pali) during Rajasthan Vidyut Mandal service.
One day a junior engineer working under me came to my office and started crying loudly. His crying was such that someone had beaten him up. I tried to console him and asked him to explain the situation. He said that a retired army major lives in my area and my staff told me that the iron girder of the electric board is being used on his berth. The Major suspects that I had sent the staff to his well to get the above items checked. He got very angry and told the staff that I have a service revolver and will shoot him before 7 pm tomorrow. The Junior Engineer further said, I have come to you to save my life. I have small children and the above news has created a ruckus in my family. Somehow save me today from Major.
I asked the Junior Engineer that the Major should be prevented from taking such untoward action. You be sure, I will solve this problem. I immediately contacted the retired Brigadier Sahib living in the same area and told about the incident with the junior engineer. He had a close relationship with me. So he immediately took out his car and went to the Major’s village along with other fellow medical officers and he explained with the strong language of the army and took a promise that he would not take any action with the junior engineer. In this way the life of the junior engineer was saved by the promptness of Brigadier Sahab. My employees told that once with the service revolvers of above Major, The MLA’s father was also murdered a few years ago and Major Sahib was not even caught by the law.
The goods of the Electricity Board had also come back from the well due to Brigadier Sahib’s support. Whenever we meet, it becomes vivid even today with the above incident.
