Rush of applicants for hangman job

The 'honour' and status of being known as the man who executed the most notorious terrorist in India's history, the Mumbai attacker Ajmal Amir Kasab, has attracted a rush of new applicants for the job as hangman.

Kasab was convicted on 86 counts of waging war on India, terrorism and joint responsibility for more than 50 murders in an attack in which a total of 166 were killed.

There have been calls for his death sentence to be carried out speedily and for any appeal to be fast-tracked, but hopes of a swift execution have been hindered by India's lack of a single working hangman. Read More................Rush of applicants for hangman job to execute Mumbai attacker

Crossing the small river, hanging on wire to Go to the School??????

What should Children do if a small river comes in their way on going to school. Simply, either go through the Bridge on the river or take a boat to cross the river. But what if there is no Bridge or Boat to cross the river??????? Yes in Narela Hanumant Village in Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh State of India, that is the case. There children going to their school have to cross a small river but for these helpless children, there is no Bridge or Boat available to go to the school. So what is the way out. To solve the problem Villagers over here have actually tied two metal wires/ropes across the river. On one metal wire/rope, children walk while holding the other metal wire/rope which hangs at one meter above the bottom one. This way, walking slowly on the rope while holding the above rope, they cross the river & go to the school.

There is every chance that a child looses balance while walking on the rope & falls into the river but administration is keeping blind eye on the whole matter & is putting the lives of such children at risk. It is high time that local administration makes some Bridge over the river or provides some peddle boats to the villagers.
