Editorial Viewpoints

• Have you ever heard of such a huge hike in the salaries of Government employees or Public Sector Undertakings ?
• Even after this hike, how much work will these MLAs do ? Who will review their performance and contribution towards the welfare of people and the Nation ? If ordinary employees do not work, they are questioned, but who will question these MLAs ?
