Ludhiana gas leak
Pollution control boards in the country are one of the most corrupt bodies functioning in the country, with utter disregard for the health and safety of people (Page 1, “11 dead after inhaling toxic gas in Ludhiana”, May 1). There is no coordination between the departments concerned including the local municipality, which is why Ludhianas are waiting to happen. Over seven decades after Independence, we are still struggling to make people understand the nuances of community living, social obligations, self discipline, national interests, unity and integrity. Making laws is not enough. Strict implementation of the same is the order of the day.
