Sterilizing the elephants:

---

What a cruel joke? The state government of West Bengal has come out with a decision to sterilize elephants for the reason that they are every now and then a cause for train accidents and, as they feel, the remedy lies in arresting their population growth for the purpose, hence their sterilization. Supreme Court of India has since taken a serious view in the matter. If other States in the country follow suit with the West Bengal government, they may possibly propose the same measure against the families of all those who are killed in rail accidents which mishaps are more or less a routine in India. Elephants are a tameable animal, harmless and human friendly. Their services are utilised in many ways besides being a tool of entertainment in events like a circus. Sterilizing is cruelty, the means that can be used by the governments instead are safety measures on the part of the railways to scare them away from the rail tracks. Elephants alone are not the cause of accidents and in several cases they occur as a result of negligence on the part of the personnel concerned and if that factor is duly taken care of the potential accidents can very well be averted. In no case cruel  measures like sterilization, too excruciating and tortuous a process, can be the alternative.

Increase in Central Government employees D.A.

---

Central Government is likely soon to enhance dearness allowance of their 30 lakh employees from existing 100% to 107%. The increase will benefit also 50 lakh retired employees besides those who are already in active service. The Government of Uttar Pradesh too is all in a preparedness to fall in line extending the benefit to their 17 lakh employees at par with those in central government. Good enough but why they are not for extending the same parity to the employees in different other sectors in the country mainly including those employed in the Banking Industry and also their retirees who are struggling for a long time to secure the needful enhancement in the dearness allowance payable to them. Such a disparity is not a new thing as both the Central Government and State Government have all along been nurturing a notion that their responsibility is confined to their own employees and they bother the least for others in the country. This is actually the time for the serving employees and the pensioners in different other sectors in India to launch a massive movement to secure their legitimate rights based on the universal principle of parity.

Economy growth in India on a 2 year record high:

---

It certainly makes a heartening news if Indian economy registers some considerable growth at a point and this has happened in the case of April-June quarter this year, a question of rarity normally. Thanks to Prime Minister Modi for a laudable outcome. This growth by 5.7% for the quarter is significant and is likely to boost up developmental activities further. This is mainly attributed by manufacturing and mining sectors in the country. Viewed from consumers point, the reduction in petrol rates by another Rs.1.82 a litre in series in a way coupled with announcements on the front of various projects by the government further boosts up the morale of the people in general. Share market has shown an increasing trend in its index though in a meagre measure with stagnancy and volatility during the last week but capable of setting a tendency towards the market rising upward in days to come to the benefit of the traders in different disciplines. All taken together, the scenario looks like adding tangibility to the much talked of the slogan of “Achhey din aaney waley hain” which may give a chance to the public in general to owe necessary gratitude to the government in power.

Saif Ali Khan on girlfriends:

---

People are free to form their views and so is Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan to express himself on a topic like relations with girl friends in general or on a particular case. He was candid enough with a particular reference in his mind while expressing like this:

• “Let us say like, virat Kohli, if his girl friend is with him, I don’t know –I would like to think it’s not a distraction. A person involved with someone is going to think about them anyway”

There is in fact no point in taking exception of girl friend(s) along which has become most common a factor particularly with reference to Cricket these days when even cheer girls are free to storm from pavilion to the play ground like honey bees. Indian culture has a past when activities like this were never thought of but the time wave has changed its direction tremendously  adopting a neo culture that permits every damn thing on earth. No exceptions need be taken of the affairs like this and the people should better reconcile to the social changes which are taking place in a bumper measure –be it a matter of girl friends or cheer girls or even things beyond all that.

Why depression in women is more common?

---

Inaugurated by Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi, a BJP M.P., the other day in Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh, India), a medical event took place where doctors of eminence participated in debate on medicinal issues. Dr. P.K. Dalal of King George Medical University, Lucknow, opined that depression is twice as common among women than men. Almost all the doctors in the meet were of an unanimous view that self medication is always hazarduous and the patients have to refrain from so doing. The very factor as to why tendency towards depression is more in the case of women compared to men was, however, not discussed with an adequate elaboration shedding necessary light on the malady. Emotionally women tend to be hyper sensitive and that is one reason why they take even trivial most issues more seriously which in turn becomes the cause for a perpetual sort of strain and tension resulting into depression after a certain gap of time. This is an area which needs serious attention of those who are running the administration of health and medicines and requires to be given a top priority peremptorily.

Share market–a tilt of surging ahead but stagnant:

---

Lack as it does for quite some time the share market has a tilt of surging ahead but is moving stagnantly with traders being at a fix on their transactions. Even as on date the index shows a higher trend but major part of shares are suffering from a decline indicating that the upward trend is confined to certain selected shares. This is time for the traders to deal in shares on a selected basis without acting as free stylers. The very likelihood appears to be for the market to go ahead upward in the near future but the chances of volatility in between can’t be ruled out.

Soaring prices–business hawks are on a loot:

---

More than a month back a news was published in this very blog as per the relative link ….http://gallery-neelkanth.blogspot.in/2014/07/relief-on-drug-priceslittle-but-it.html highlighting certain relaxations announced by the government in relation to certain specified drugs mainly including those relating to diabetes, blood pressure and heart ailment. It was more than a month back but the business tycoons dealing in drugs continue to act as a major hurdle even as on date. They are still charging the higher rates applicable earlier on the pretext that they have not yet received any official instruction for the purpose. They are telling a lie as they are the same persons who implemented increased rates immediately they were announced by some quarter or the other in the past including the quarters not at all recognised in the context. In fact it is these hawks in the business who are responsible for soaring prices who just bother three hoots even if there are necessary directions as from the government. The need for the government is to first fix the high handedness on the part of the drug mafias and the tycoons dealing in other commodities before issuing directives aimed at reducing the prices to bring the market to a normal, or at least near normal, level with the element of compatibility with consumers.
