Punish those RU BCL cadres
General students of RU were just protesting against fees hike and introduction of evening shift. They can do so, as it is their democratic right to protest. The university authorities can not just take such important decisions without the consent of majority students. Since police are to protect law and discipline, they can try to control the agitating students. But how dare they, along with BCL cadres, open fire on the general students? Who provides BCL cadres with illegal arms? We firmly condemn it. Please arrest the criminal students of BCLand punish them severely.

Include mumps vaccine in
EPI
Measles, Mumps and Rubella - all these three diseases are very contagious and common in our country. The ill effects of these diseases as well as their complications are so severe that people who suffered from these diseases can well remember their hazards e.g. mumps has very bad complications including inflammation of testes in males and ovaries in females as a result of which many people in our country suffer from sterility in the long run, but to our utter disappointment our Health Department did not include the mumps vaccine in the Expanded Programme of Immunization (EPI), rather they have included only measles and rubella vaccines in their vaccination programme. If the government added the mumps vaccination to the programme, thousands of children, especially the underprivileged, could have preventive measures against this contagious disease. So, our earnest request to the government is to include mumps vaccine i.e. MMR vaccines instead of MR vaccines in EPI.

JNU dorms under illegal occupation
We are the students of Jagannath University. We got admitted to this university after competing with thousands of other students, but we are deprived of basic facilities here. Although JNU have twelve dormitories, those have been occupied by grabbers. The JNU administration failed to recover the dormitories from the grip of grabbers. We urge the authorities to take proper steps to free our dormitories from illegal occupation. The government should help our university in doing so.
