Transfer of 82 police officers in Patna

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/82_police_officers_shifted_in_Patna/articleshow/2385191.cms

Is this move going to work?

Have such moved yielded positive results in the past?

Is 2 years enough time for officers to sort out the law and order problems in any given area?

How will the transfers affect the lives, performance and morale of Bihar Police?

Vilasrao Deshmukh's comments on Maharashtra farmers

http://www.hindu.com/2007/09/15/stories/2007091555451200.htm

What the minister said is sad enough. What he has said to cover up is sadder yet. What hits me most is that through it all, not once did he take responsibility for the condition of his state.

High Drama at AIIMS Body Meet as Venugopal Walks Off

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/High_drama_at_AIIMS_body_meet_as_Venugopal_walks_off/articleshow/2341130.cms

That the logic put forth by P Venugopal, for those accompanying him to be allowed to attend the General Body Meeting (GBM) at Nirman Bhawan , was not addressed by the politicians present is prove enough that Anbumani Ramadoss has not given up mischief making in the affairs of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). It is customary for senior civil servants to participate in meetings and conferences with their support staff in order to do justice to issues that arise during the discussions. The Health Minister has always endeavored to isolate the Director of AIIMS ever since he lost the legal battle to have his decision to remove P Venugopal endorsed by the courts. It is a shame that other politicians of dubious public record, like RK Dhawan, have joined Anbumani Ramadoss’ efforts to dislodge P Venugopal and interfere in the AIIMS. Birds of the same feathers flocking together!

It would be pertinent to question whether Anbumani Ramadoss or RK Dhawan attends any such business meets without their staff to brief those present with details of issues under discussion. Politicians like Anbumani Ramadoss and RK Dhawan are bent upon destroying one of the finest medical institutes in the country. It is the same politician who went all out to muster support for Arjun Singh’s Mandal II campaign. What a disgrace!
