Create pvt police force

I think best option for the safety of Delhi citizens is creation of private police force which should be manned and recruited by any renowned industrialist. This can be funded one time and future funding can be by marginal increase in House Tax or a separate tax can start. At the same time any sufferings by any citizens after it is manned privately, the compensation, legal fees follow up etc. should also be the responsibility of that private police organization. If we succeed in Delhi, other States can follow.

CGHS empanelled hospitals

Ravi's remark that one has to get permission from CGGS dispensary for referral for treatment in such hospitals, is not correct as the CGHS dispensary would give permission for treatment in an empanelled hospital only on the recommendations of the Specialist.

Rajeshwar Dayal

CSSS most reliable

It is very sad that Ranganathan is casting aspersions of CSSS as a whole and leakage of secret documents, etc. We are the most reliable people among all cadres and I hope he will resist from doing so in future. We are all working day/night, Saturdays and Sundays and because of a handful of people, the whole cadre image is being tarnished. As I have already mentioned, Ranganathan may also be a CSS person who is jealous of CSSS people doing well in exams and promotions.

Topic for debate

Recent news item/reports in Newspapers and other media about the quality of various judgements by courts in India is a matter of serious concern. There is an urgent need for audit of court judgements by an independent body like C&AG. This can function as part of NJAC. If the Audit reveals that there was a bias/deliberate or obvious misinterpretation of rules/Laws ,there should be punishment for the concerned Judge. I suggest you start a debate on this in your website.

Another scam

CLAT: Committee was formed to subvert. - that was internal committee! Exams were held by UP based University... likely to be another scam!

I want Delhi police

Once upon a time, a King in a small kingdom had a pet monkey. The King loved the monkey a lot. The monkey was allowed to enter anywhere inside the palace, even where other ministers were forbidden to enter. One day, the King was fast asleep after lunch and the monkey was sitting beside the King, fanning him. Suddenly, a fly came and sat on the King's chest. The monkey drove the fly away with the fan, but the fly kept coming back again and again. The monkey got irritated. He picked up the sleeping King's sword and tried to hit the fly with the sword. It flew away but the sword pierced the King's heart, who died instantly.
