| Editorial perspective
It shameful for the Police and the administration that alcohol is available despite a ban on it, and people are dying consuming it. No matter how many laws and bans are imposed, crimes cannot be controlled. Corruption is only responsible for this situation. It is essential for the Government to eradicate corruption on war footing. But are there rulers in the Nation who are not corrupt ? |
