Dear Malay/ Manoj The situation in WB is beyond repair. The state is now a Police / Fascist State and these issues cannot be solved through RTI. What is even more worrying is that this virus seems to be spreading to other parts of India.
This issue will only be solved if President's Rule is imposed on such States, but with the Centre dependent on these fascist forces it seems unlikely in the short term. --- In [email protected], Manoj Pai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > To cut a long story short, I deviate slightly from the > thread and wish to ask....
