Letters to the Editor: Delay in exam result

We are all aware of the fact that the APSC CCE 2020 result has not been declared till date. The point to understand is that the APSC conducted the examination with proper due permission. So, it is certainly very heartening for the candidates to wait and wait for the result. As candidates, it is important to get the result within a stipulated time and to complete all processes regarding any examination. Candidates are tired of waiting for a long time in recruitment processes for jobs under the Government of Assam. There is no certainty regarding dates of examinations, venues of exams, date of result etc. Another thing that we, as candidates, want to mention is that irrespective of the number of vacancies or places of posting or types of exams, all examinations should have at least one examination venue in all districts of Assam as most of the candidates are from lower-income group in the state. We hope the points raised by us will be serve to open the eyes of authorities concerned.

A few frustrated candidates,

'May they be happy'

"May they be Happy" - when you see this sentence, you might wonder to whom I am wishing happiness. Actually, in this world there are some special people who change the course of our life when we meet them. I don't know whether they are god's gift or not, but when we meet them in the path of our life, they can instantly fill our hearts with happiness. The smile on their faces can magically change your gloomy face into a happy one. Contact with such people encourages and motivates us to live the life happily. They are the ones who contribute to the reshaping of our lives. In a sense, those people are like angels to us. I feel blessed and grateful to meet such amazing people. So, I wish them to stay happy and safe always so that they continue to make others smile, pour colours on empty hearts and makes sad people happy.

Ban plastic water pouches

Most of the states in the nation have not outlawed plastic water pouches. However, it has been found that hotels, pubs, and restaurants are also providing water pouches in place of clean water in tumblers, mugs, and jars, despite our Central government's calls for us to be clean and plastic-free. The number of people selling plastic water pouches is growing daily. People use these plastic pouches and toss them wherever they want. Particularly in cities, plastic water pouches accumulate on streets, gardens, religious sites, markets and also other places. The waste from water pouches is readily visible in many cities.

The consumption of plastic water pouches is killing even cows and other animals. Additionally, there is drainage blockage brought on by waste from the water sacs, which is resulting in increase of dangerous flies and mosquitoes. According to social custom, a prohibition on the sale and use of plastic water pouches can be firmly enacted, especially in urban areas. Government agencies can easily outlaw water pouches and deal with those who violate the ban on water bags. If necessary, they can impose legal sanctions and use Article 133 of the Criminal Code proceedings. In certain ways, banning water pouches will lessen environmental pollution.
