The demolition of jughi-jhompries in slum areas of Delhi by MCD, DDA or the Railway authorities, without making any alternative arrangements for lakhs of poor people is a matter of grave concern. This demolition must stop and all the people should get alternative land. The Government should make a statement on this matter.
‘Sports’ is a yardstick of advancement of a nation. In the last fifty years, our achievement in this field is negligible. Due to lack of a correct, comprehensive, forward looking sports policy and its sincere implementation, we could not succeed. A full-fledged discussion on sports is necessary.
