Editorial Perspectives

• Was the administration sleeping till these unauthorised buildings were built ? Action should be taken against the concerned officers.

• Action should be taken suo moto against the encroachment by the Administration, not after complaints are given by the citizens.

• Will the Administration wakeup only after the Hindus are beaten-up ? From this it can be understood that this is a dangerous time for the Hindus with the increase in the population of the religious fanatics
