DAUNTING INFLATION

The revelations on 2G spectrum sales,Adarsh property scam, Commonwealth games scandal etc generated a breeding ground for the growth of inflation and extremism. This challenge cannot be met by superficial administrative action, but it requires a political will to ensure egalitarian growth. But unfortunately due to the advent of neo liberalization and globalization whatever the action taken by the central govt along with monetary regulation by RBI proved to be counter productive. This is because of the lack of will at the administrative level to regulate the supply side by ensuring equitable distribution of 13 essential commodities trough fair price shops at subsidized prices. Let the central govt should make good the additional cost born by the respective state govts by way of subsidization. The present drive of the central govt to unearth the black money is followed by regulating the supply side, the Indian economy will quickly recover to normalcy than what was felt in other western countries.

women;s safety

The incident of a women having fallen from a speeding train in her bid to escape from the attack of a hooligan and her tragic death has awfully cast a shadow on the prestige of Indian railway. According to the survey amongst the total commuters travel across more than 65000 kms of the Indian railway network, half of them represent women. The announcement of the Railway minister during her budget presentation in 2010 that the security of women passengers would be increased has not been materialized.. The attacks on women are increasing day by day and the culprits running scot-free. Hence it is high time that Indian railway should take concrete steps to enhance the security of women passengers by providing security personals in ladies compartments especially in trains running during night and not permitting any access to male passengers and venders. The offender of this heinous crime should be given punishment not lesser than death penalty as a warning to those follow suit
