Violating rules, many two-wheeler riders use car horns or other fancy horns and startle other road users, especially pedestrians. They weave through the traffic in a rash manner, blaring the horn more often than deemed necessary and thereby cause nuisance and also pose risk to their lives and that of others. Will the authorities put an end to this menace? V. Karunaianandan, Madurai Need for more pulmonologistsChest diseases, including allergy caused by dust, are increasing day by day due to all sorts of pollution . But sufficient numbers of pulmonologists are not available both in government and private hospitals. Moreover, treatment has become costly in private hospitals and beyond the reach of poor patients. Besides, getting an appointment with pulmonologists in private hospitals is not easy. It is learnt that the number of seats in Pulmonology in government and private medical colleges are few when compared to other faculties. Hence, the authorities must look into the matter and increase seats in medical colleges in the State the betterment of the common man. S. Kanagavel Manoharan, Madurai Mumbai terror attackIt is regrettable to note that the youth, instead of pursuing higher education and earn their livelihood through rightful means, indulge in unlawful acts such as rioting, theft and bombing. During the recent terrorist attack in Mumbai, many innocent people lost their lives and the entire nation spent sleepless nights with anxiety. Appointment of P. Chidambaram as Home Minister is very appropriate. It is hoped that he will set high standards in protecting the citizens from future attacks. M. Thayumanasamy Madurai Bring down prices of petroleum productsDuring the tenure of UPA government, prices of petroleum products had been increased on five occasions. Consequently, the prices of all commodities have gone up. But, now after the fuel prices stand reduced, the government should see to that the prices of all commodities also come down proportionately. Further, the Government should further reduce the prices of fuel and cooking gas as the price of crude oil in the international market has come down from 149 US Dollars to 45 Dollars. When our neighbour Pakistan is able to sell a litre of petrol at Rs. 16, why can’t we? This can be done if the government minimised the lavish expenses of oil companies. A. Gopalakrishnan, Madurai
