CNG in
the State
Sir,
In a landmark direction by
the High Court to the State Government
the need for building the necessary
infrastructure for CNG has been sought to
be created. Like in many cases before,
here too the court has comeforward to
admonish the State Government the need to
move forward towards a clean fuel. Jammu
city is experiencing a huge increase in
the number of vehicles. Almost similar is
the case with the summer capital also. If
the number of vehicles go on adding the
way they are then that day is not far
when the city environment will be
polluted to such an extent that the
people will have no other alternative but
to wear oxygen masks.
In the context the use and
role of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is
well known. In many metropolitian cities
the CNG is available like petrol. In our
State CNG must be made available in the
petrol pumps so that people use this fuel
which is clean, safer and economical. The
sooner it happens the better it will
prove for improving the environment and
ecosystem.

Role of
Navy
Sir,
Indian Navy has made India
proud. The statement of the new Naval
Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta (DE, Nov. 1)
that Indian Navy visualises a new role
for itself is in conformity with the
needs of the Navy as well as expectations
from it. The security environment of the
subcontinent and beyond has undergone a
radical change.
The relentless naval buildup
by the Pakistan Navy and its purchase of
Agosta class submarines and American
surveillance aircraft has given the Pak
Navy more teeth. The construction of
Gwadar port in Pakistan with Chineese
help is another dimension that needs
attention. The Chineese listening posts
and ship berth facility in Burma has been
a threat which is of a strategic
consequence. The growing piracy in waters
very close to India especially off the
Andaman sea and South east of Madras is
yet another grave danger to Indian
interests. To safeguard the country's
interests from all these dangers the
Indian Navy needs more funds for the
purchase of new ships and for speeding up
the indigenous construction at its
shipyards.

Overpriced
reflectors
Sir,
A news report titled,
''Reflectors purchased at exhorbitant
rates (DE, Oct 28)'' is the past of a
patten that seems to have become common
place now. Such a news reflects the sorry
state of our public life.
But we need to praise the
Vigilance Department for the activism
that it has shown in many case previously
as well as in this case too. Corruption
of any scale and any magnitude needs to
be completely eradicated from our
society. Otherwise how can be call
ourselves civilized. The news reflects
the boldness and impurity of the
Vigilance Department. The department must
carry on the good work that it has taken
upon itself. Let the drive against
corruption reach its logical end. In this
drive the civil society too has to lend a
helping hand to eradicate this menace
forever.
Yours

Indian
business Gurus
Sir,
In was happy to note that
about 10 percent of teachers at US
corporates such as Harvard Business
School, North Western's Kellogg School of
Business, University of Michigan's Ross
School of Business are of Indian descent.
It may be further added that well-known
academics and consultants like C K
Prahlad, Ram Charan and Vijay Govind
Rajan are among the world's hottest
business Gurus, advising some of the top
U.S companies. These sons of Indian soil
really deserve praise and gratitudes for
their landmark achievement in the field
of Business corporates in U.S and
attaining such a high position as
Business teachers.
It is a testimony to the
potential of the Indians, owing to their
utmost hardwork, dedication and sincerity
in whatever field they land at. We are
really proud of such legendry
personalities who are the source of great
inspiration and encouragement youth of
our nation.
