WASHINGTON / USA — America ke 430 se zyada airports par is waqt afra-tafri ka mahaul hai. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown ki wajah se 50,000 TSA security officers ko pehli baar $0 paycheck (zero salary) mila hai. Iska natija ye hai ki airports par 3 se 5 ghante ki lambi lines lagi hain aur logon ki flights miss ho rahi hain.
Numbers Jo Situation Batate Hain:
Mass Resignation: Shutdown shuru hone ke baad se 300 se zyada TSA officers naukri chhod chuke hain.
Absence Rate: Houston Hobby Airport par 53% officers ne kaam par aane se mana kar diya, wahi New York ke JFK airport par 21% staff absent hai.
Security Threat: Experts warn kar rahe hain ki staff ki kami ki wajah se dushman is vulnerability ka faida utha sakte hain.
Kyun Hua DHS Shutdown? : January 2026 mein ICE officers ne Minneapolis mein 2 American citizens ko goli maar di thi. Democrats ne ICE reforms ki demand ki, jise Republicans ne thukra diya. Is deadlock ki wajah se DHS ki funding 14 February ko expire ho gayi aur poora department shutdown ho gaya.
Irony Of The Situation: NPR ki report ke mutabik, passengers abhi bhi “Aviation Security Fee” de rahe hain, lekin wo paisa TSA workers ko salary ke taur par nahi mil raha. Officers ab itne majboor hain ki wo apni gaadiyon aur airports par sone ko majboor hain taaki gas ka paisa bacha sakein.
TWU Assessment: Ek taraf America Iran war mein uljha hua hai, aur doosri taraf uske apne ghar (airports) ki security khatre mein hai. Duniya ko security dene wala desh aaj apne hi staff ko salary dene mein nakaam hai.
