Alcohol Consumption is just injurious or a threat.

                 We know very well that alcohol consumption is injurious to health. In-spite of the hazardous effects there is a large community who are addicted to alcohol. Controlled quantity is fine but overdose has become threat not to the consumer but to others. Most of the people drive after consuming alcohol even though they are aware of the fact that they are not in full control of themselves. This is fact, we see many cars and bikes parked before every bar. All these drive after drinking. If not all, most of them. These people who are not in full control can't control the vehicles too and some times these results in serious accidents involving others. Some times these accidents put an entire family in jeopardy. Recently in Hyderabad one of such accident resulted in death of 10 year old girl and two others all belonging to the same family. A small girl who was totally unaware of her future might have many young thoughts in her mind but all those were vanished just because of the crime committed by some alcoholics. This was not the only accident, there were several of these cases noticed in the recent past and several were unnoticed. This is not the crime which can be spared. These need serious actions to be taken by officials. Drink and Drive can not be spared. Government officials in Hyderabad have been alerted by the incident stated above are taking action on such cases. The thing is these cases should be checked in regular intervals. Another accident another family getting victimized can't be allowed. The police should keep a strict check on vehicles leaving bars and wine shops. Specially youngsters pursuing graduation are being the victims of this dangerous habit. There is no meaning of the education if we commit such crimes involving poor lives. Let us all come forward and make our country a better place to live where innocents are not the victims of accidents. This need no big deeds but a small change in ourselves. The parents should also keep check on their children and protect them from these habits. Police should also engage such youngsters in counselling camps. There are many lorry and bus drivers travelling on national highways committing the same crime resulting in even more dangerous accidents. Government should keep a check on these culprits. As a first step they should ban all the bars and wine shops on the highways. Hope the government will take in these important issues and travel in their journey of Transforming India.

No Smoking - Ban Smoking in Public Places.

                      ' No Smoking, Smoking kills ' These are the common statutory warnings we see almost  daily. Is this effecting the smokers, it seldom does but the real victims of smoking are passive smokers. They are paying for something which they are not responsible. It already late, let us all rise and stop this evil from ruining our lives. Public smoking is banned in India. Public places includes all auditoriums, parks, offices, railways etc. In short smokers are allowed to smoke in special zones allocated to them if they are such places, if not smoking is banned in public places. But this rule is hardly followed and checked by officials. The more concerned issue is the officials who are supposed to protect the law are violating it with no regrets.When some common citizens question them, we all know what happens. In this country there always that invisible force which protects the officials and lawmakers from prosecution giving them rights to violate laws. After all laws are for common citizens not for lawmakers and bureaucrats. The sale of tobacco products in prohibited within 100 yards from an educational institution. The sale of tobacco is prohibited to the people under 21 years of age. He cannot involve in production too. This law is taken for  granted and today we see small stores specifically for tobacco products targeting students of those institutions. We see children selling these products near railway stations, bus stations etc. We know many child labor employed for manufacturing of local beedis and other products involving tobacco. How many actions are taken on those type of stores? I think none. The development of the country lies with its responsible citizens. Unfortunately our citizens are prone to dangerous cancer and other diseases due to this evil smoking. The corporate companies are busy earning profits through tobacco products, Government and the oppositions are busy fighting in the parliament, Media is busy with TRPs. The government and the media should take steps in knowing laws and enforcing them. In the recent years the cancer cases are increasing, the pollution in the atmosphere is rising, better not late its time for us to wake up and fight for smoke free country, India is set for a Change, It is Changing, Let us include every problem in its course for Change, Let the Change start from us.
