What can one say about a society where 100's of millions of people go hungry to bed everyday and where recently a 1000 million kilograms grains, stored in government godowns, was found to be damaged and rotten? This is a massive amount of grains; sufficient to actually feed the starving for months! Despite India being considered as a global power, how can we have any self respect as a country if majority of our people are unable to afford two square meals a day?

Brothers and Sisters,
The All India Loco Running Staff Association representing more than 1 Lakh engine drivers of the Indian Railways is holding its National Convention in Mumbai on the 31st of August 2010.

Oppose the undemocratic move of government to more than double the security deposit for candidates in elections through an amendment to the Representation of Peoples Act. The government has proposed that the security deposit for candidates for general category seats for the Lok Sabha be raised from Rs 10,000 to Rs 25,000. India is supposed to be a democracy wherein every citizen has the right to elect and be elected... Any citizen should be able to stand in elections with a token deposit that he or she can afford.
