Just negligence

This refers to the news “Infant administered ‘expired’ injections” (GK Dec 26).

Many hopes

This refers to column ''Spoilt Campus'' by ZGM (GK 26-12-2010). The author has portrayed a beautiful picture of life at Kashmir University campus.

Good move

This refers to winter schooling. Many questions have been raised against it. But we neglect the benefits of winter schooling.
