All Yes Sham, I agree with you entirely. In fact, I want to do some plain talking today. We are about 3,000 members who are educated and having access to computers and internet. For an important issue like this, surely, we can get at least 10 persons to sign the petition. However, where are we today? not even 5,000 whee as we should have crossed 30,000 at the minimum. So, what can we infer, that a large number of us have not done our bit for a cause which is so very important to us directly. So easily we blame the society, government and all others. But when it comes to do a little bit which is not more than a 5 minute work, we can't get to do it. We expect the NGO's and others to attend to all our problem. In the initial phase of the campaign, we had not included social media and we had our concern about individual effort on this cause. It was a suggestion from the list to use Change.org and social media. We trusted that everyone would work for it as for individual the task involved was so very trivial. Please turn back and see the efforts individuals and organization had to work hard to bring changes at various level that we are enjoying today. This campaign is not restricted to NGO's but is counting each one of us. Until and unless, we come up with convincing numbers, the enormity of the problem would also be gauged on the numbers by authorities as well. It would only speak that the problem is not grave and some jokers are trying to take mil age to steal limelight. In fact I have no hesitation to call the organizers of the campaign to give it up if the community is content with the state of affairs on the accessible currency front. Speak up and I am sure, the organizers would listen to you as in the past wether this campaign should continue? I would of course thank each and everyone who have worked on this campaign including those who signed the petition. I must say, I am concerned and unhappy on what could be done and what has been done in reality. Harish. On 29-10-2017 15:22, Shyam M.
