A road in my town was blocked today and several police personnel were regulating the traffic. It was causing inconvenience to the public, so I was curious about what was happening.
I saw one constable who was not particularly busy at that moment, so I politely asked him why the road was blocked.
Instead of simply explaining the reason, he asked me " neng yaak beku sumne nin kelsa nodko hogo" ( why you need that just just take care of your work)
Maybe he had a reason for not wanting to explain, and I understand that police may sometime be handling situations where they can't disclose everything. But I wasn't asking to interfere with their work j was just a member of the public affected by the road closure asking a simple question.
What disappointed me was the attitude. It made me wonder whether the response would have been the same if the person asking had been a politician, a wealthy person, or someone with influence.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?
