Andhra Pradesh
Sudden rise in vegetable prices poses a challenge to middleclass people, who usually draw a monthly budget and do shopping accordingly. Prices of some vegetables even go up to Rs. 40 per kg and there is shortage of onion in many places. Tomatoes, which are available at cheaper rate in Chittoor district are priced at anywhere between Rs. 25 and Rs. 45 in other districts. This situation is not new in our State, as we have already witnessed several such incidents in the past. Such situations will not arise in the future if the Government focused on construction of cold storages. G. Sitarama Swamy Eluru Wise decision
We welcome the decision of the Higher Education Department which issued orders recently preventing lecturers working in Government colleges from using mobile phones in classrooms. Many colleges have already been implementing a ban on use of mobile phones by students in classrooms. There is no need to say that the loud sound of mobile ring tone diverts the attention of the entire classroom. If the lecturer attends to the call, he or she will take at least five minutes to end the conversation and it will take five more minutes to go back to the lesson. We request principals of all colleges to ensure proper implementation of this order. M. Ramana Rao Jaggayyapeta Evening courts
The Tamil Nadu government has introduced a new system called evening courts. The courts began to function in evening hours too from July 5. These extended hours will certainly help Magistrates reduce the number of pending cases. Keeping the huge of number of cases which are pending with different courts across the country, the Supreme Court may issue orders making it mandatory for all courts to work for extra hours. B.V. Subrahmanya Sastry Bapatla Ragging menace
Ragging, literally, means a programme of entertainments organised by students to raise funds for the uplift of poor students. But contrary to this, the act has been taking ugly turns. Comparatively, ragging is negligible in arts colleges, but it is at its peak in the professional institutions. Even as the Supreme Court issued directions providing respite to the victims and the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Prohibition of Ragging Act holding principal and hostel warden responsible for ragging in their institutions, the act is still continuing. I request parents and teachers to counsel students from their childhood against ragging. I. Subhash Samuel Ulavapadu Provide rehabilitation
The fishermen in Mutthukur mandal of Nellore district, who eked their livelihood through agriculture and fishing, are forced to leave homes and their lands due to development of thermal centre at Krishnapatnam and Port City. The authorities have taken lands from the fishermen, but have not made any specific promises on their rehabilitation. I request the authorities to provide them rehabilitation. K. Kishore Kavali
