Enjoy an incident-free I-Day I am sincerely praying for an eco-friendly, cost-effective and safer Independence Day celebrations, particularly given the rising cases of stampedes wherever crowds are gathering in large numbers. There should be a blanket ban on use of plastic balloons and items that are harmful to the environment and birds, like piling of garbage at every stretch. Moreover, people should prefer to watch the live telecast, including on the big screen put up at vantage positions, as this can help save on time, money, fuel consumption (thereby reducing pollution levels) and large gatherings at the venues. These will go a long way as viable preventive measures. PVP Madhu Nivriti, Secunderabad-61 Good move to protect Kancha forest I am writing to express my appreciation of the government's decision to preserve Kancha forest in Gachibowli (Restore green cover at Kancha, Gachibowli, THI, Aug 14). This is a highly appreciable initiative towards safeguarding our environment, at a time when urbanisation is reducing our green spaces. Restoring this forest would also enhance the quality of life for those residing in and around Gachibowli apart from saving the habitat of many animals. Anhaar Majid, St Francis College for Women A 'green' battle at Kancha Gachibowli In an era where urban skylines are celebrated as symbols of progress, the Supreme Court's firm stand on restoring green cover at Kancha Gachibowli comes as a much-needed reminder that development cannot come at the cost of environmental destruction. The Chief Justice's stern warning, even hinting at jail time for top officials, sends a strong message that accountability in environmental matters is non-negotiable. The alleged destruction of the area's natural green belt not only threatens biodiversity but also jeopardizes the ecological balance of a city already gasping for cleaner air and cooler temperatures. Kancha Gachibowli is more than just a patch of green, it is a living ecosystem, a climate shield, and a legacy for future generations. If we lose it now, no amount of compensation will bring it back. The question is simple: will we protect our roots or pave over them? Aditi Rao, St Francis College for Women Not revising the Class X exam pattern deserves a pat I appreciate your article 'Existing exam pattern to continue for Class X' (THI, Aug 12). The order issued by the State government about continuing the existing pattern of examination for Class X is commendable. This pattern enhances the performance levels of students and gives more scope for improvement through tasks like unit tests, written assignments, projects and practical tests. The internal assessment being awarded 20 marks also reduces the stress on the students, which allows them to give their best shot in the external examination. Kashmira Konduparty, Hyderabad Kudos to HMRL's drug-free pledge In reference to your article 'All must chip in to banish drugs from society: HMRL MD' (August 14,) the Hyderabad Metro Rail's pledge to support the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan is exemplary. This proves that public institutions can lead the way in tackling pressing social issues. Such actions remind us that the fight against drugs is not the sole responsibility of the authorities but a collective social mission for the well-being of our communities. Drug abuse is not merely a legal offence but a deep-rooted social threat that destroys families, disrupts communities, and endangers the future of our youth. Combating it demands unity across all sections of society. Government bodies, educational institutions, workplaces, neighbourhoods, and families must join forces to create awareness, remain alert, and take swift action when needed. Moreover, every small step counts whether it is about educating the young, reporting suspicious activities, or extending support to those seeking to break free from the addiction. If more organisations follow the HMRL precedent, our combined efforts could become a powerful force for change. Kalisetti Soumya, St Francis College for Women

Kudos to The Hans India It is indeed great that in the fiercely competitive world of media, particularly when the electronic media is getting louder and creating nuisance, The Hans India has withstood everything to successfully complete 14 glorious years. My association with the daily goes back to the year of its launch. It is delightful that many of my thoughts have found a place in its columns. Wishing many more successful years to Team Hans. N Nagarajan, Hyderabad More glory to the media 'all-rounder' I wish more glory to The Hans India that has completed 14 years since inception. A defining factor is that it covers news with equanimity and comes up with rational analysis and solutions without any bias or leanings, whatsoever, including its edit page, Young Hans, national and world news, education, research and development, sports, politics and womenia, et al to earn it the distinction of being an all-rounder. Most importantly, the Hans India has never gone for sensational journalism, while its satire-laced cartoons are quite educative and thought-provoking. PVP Madhu Nivriti, Secunderabad-61 A must in all TG and AP public libraries It is really a proud moment for any newspaper to step into its 15th year of existence. The Hans India, which took off 14 years back, has been in the public domain and winning accolades for its wonderful all-round coverage all these years. It is one of the few newspapers that runs readers' columns even on Sundays. Though it focuses on local issues, it also gives due weightage to national and global issues, including sports and the world of entertainment. A unique aspect is that it maintains a regular column on women. On this occasion, I urge the management of the daily to impress upon the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments on the need to have the paper in public libraries across the two Telugu speaking states. Many librarians are shying away from subscribing to it, despite its readership value, citing 'resource crunch'. Pratapa Reddy Yaramala, Tiruvuru (AP) Check food poisoning cases in Gurukuls The news item 'KTR blames the government for the deaths of Gurukul students in Telangana (The Hans India July 16) makes for disturbing reading. He has alleged that over thousand food poisoning cases were reported across the State, and there were over 100 deaths of Gurukul students, over the past one year. It is a 'serious issue' and the government of the day should address it on a priority basis. TSWREIS and TTWRES are the two societies primarily responsible for overseeing Gurukula patasalas, which also feeds students from marginalised sections. The incompetent government departments are to be blamed for providing rotten rice and contaminated drinking water, which are resulting in many food poisoning cases. It will be a good augury if NGOs like Akshayapatra Foundation and Arunodaya Trust are roped in to be assured of delivering nutritious food to the hapless students, who, otherwise, live in horrifying conditions.
