Long shadows
* This refers to the Delhi courts rebuke of the CBI for not recording the statements of all available witness (Court puts Tytler back in the dock,IE,April 11). The case has been reopened after the CBI gave Tytler a clean chit in 2010. After 29 years,we are back to square one on the case. It is high time we reviewed our processes of justice. They seem to be a sheer waste of time and money. In this case,the relevant agencies should be instructed to question all the witnesses left out and submit their report within a specific time frame.

* THIS refers to Selling it right by Ila Patnaik (IE,April,11). The problem of risk in the financial system could be mitigated by better accounting and reporting. A counter-cyclical capital buffer could also be an effective policy tool to tackle risk. There is a need for a comprehensive law on consumer protection and a redressal forum that deals with different sectors. The rights and liabilities of the parties must be well defined and protected by law. The existing laws fall short in areas such as net banking and financial services. Patnaik rightly observes that consumers buying products in the banking,finance and insurance markets should be protected from unfair practices

* APROPOS the editorial State of battle (IE,April 11),Mamata Banerjees words and actions do not befit an elected chief minister who came to power riding on a wave of massive public support. While violence has to be condemned in the strongest terms,it is sad that the CM should be engaged in a game of tit-for-tat with the Left. The CM has made a series of mistakes. Now she must decide if she wants to spend just one term as CM or whether she has more long-term plans for the state. If she decides on the latter,she must change peoples perception of her.

* WE HAVE an economy that is heavily dependent on agriculture,which in turn depends on the monsoon. If the monsoons fail,they set off a chain reaction that has a deep impact on our economy and society. In the current drought situation in Maharashtra,there is a lack of political will to address the problem. Meanwhile,a bureaucracy hobbled by red tape and corruption seems helpless to do anything. We should form a statutory body that will frame and implement policies to tackle this problem. It should be headed by technocrats and have representative from regions affected by drought. This body should report directly to the CM at the state level and the PM at the Centre
