Falling moral standards

Sir,

The deteriorating morals standards in Indian society and its youth is a cause of concern for our social thinkers, philosophers and educationists. The value system on which our rich Indian culture is based are diminishing fast. Now a day, greater importance is being given to wealth and material gains without ascertaining the sources through which it is acquired studies have shown that crime rates, sexuals abuse, divorce, rape cases, murders, broken families are on a rapid increase along with the increase in our wealth. This means that with our economic prosperity, we are losing on our moral and spiritual side. With this, moral corruption has increased in the society and continuation of our rich valued culture and its preservance is in danger.
With the screening of nude and vulgar movies on private TV channels, freedom to use cellular phones and other such things by our teenagers, lack of proper moral guidance by teachers and parents has led to the disappearance of moral values from our centres of leaning. Teachers and parents who commit offences and indulge in mal-practice and unfairmeans has rendered our youth to follow unethical behaviour of such type persons as they imitate their teachers/parents blindly. Thus, instead of raising great hue and cry against children deviating from moral code of conduct, parents should act more responsibility and honestly to lead their children follow normal socially acceptable behaviour. At the school level, efforts should be made to introduce moral education as full subject. Moreover, there is a need to impose strict ban on vulgar/nude pvt. channels and vulgar films which are hell bent to destroy our rich value based society.

Nuke weapons

Sir,

India has sought an unequivocal commitment from all the countries of the world especially those who have nuke weapons to eliminate the design, development, fabrication and deployment of nuke weapons. This is in line with the time tested and unwavering policy of the country to discourage the deployment and use of nuke weapons.
India's Ambassador to UN, Nirupam Sen appealed the member states to ensure that a dialogue process is started in this direction which would finally result in the elimination of nuke weapons. There are few people and countries who have all long felt that India despite its commitment is not doing well to create an atmosphere for the nuke proliferation. Happily such people and countries have a dubious record and are themselves activily engaging in the development of nuke weapons.
India's nuke policy has been of no first use. This again reiterates the stand of the country in nuclear policy. We were forced to adopt counter measures in order to vacate the nuke threat that was taking menacing proportions especially in our immediate neighborhood. With Pakistan and China developing nuke weapons and deploying them with the sole aim of targeting the country cannot be simply wished away. But despite that virtual nuclerisation of the neighborhood India has made its stand clear at the UN. We hope that India's views will gather support and momentum which would help in ensuring a nuclear free world in future.

Upgrade connectivity

Sir,

It is our pleasure to express through the columns of your ''daily'' that the services rendered by the said agency (BSNL) are very very poor and unsatisfactory. The purpose of installing telephonic connections are having mobile telephones, in the present situations, is badly defeated. It goes without saying that the governmental agencies donot deliver desired results as compared to other ones. Perhaps lackadaisical attitude of employees in principally contributing factor is not producing required goods and here who disagrees that irregular services are always problematic and disturbing especially in the hour of need. It is very sorry and disheatening that instead of extending satisfactory services, the agency is not coming upto expectations. Particularly, the public of hilly areas is extremely victimised of poor services of BSNL. The governmental authorities in this regard are requested to kindly to do the needful to ensure regular and proper communicational facilities in hilly and remote areas.

Yours etc...
