To our question last fortnight: With power cuts becoming the order of the day, is Bescom justified in hiking tariff? Jithin Kalan writes, It is a fact that people in certain rural and urban areas suffer power cuts for probably four to six hours a day. It is an injustice to them if Bescom hikes its tariff. Without proper supply of power, there is no logic in Bescom's argument for a hike.

Our question this issue: Why is it that top politicians, when sent to prison, fall ill and end up in hospitals?
