Dear sir,

India and Indians are having excess supply of information and “gyans by expert “ about what happened  and what should have been done.

I am 70+ honest successful businessman based in mumbai.i wish to focus on following india should do

A)All negative news about accident,molestation,Bollywood  etc should be highlighted but only on 4th -8th  page of each news paper  or  after  4 minutes of news on national tv channel. Such news are necessary but somehow it is so much sensationalised that non Indians think we are country of character less  and irresponsible people.

B)All politicians must  appoint representatives who will meet once a month at centre/state alongwith press  and widely telecast matter of intrest of india.no shouting , no allegation, no past reference, no insult just discuss way forward

C)Strict discipline on crow management at religious functions and tourist to avoid stampedes

D)Bridge and road design should be  standardised pan india and vetted by independent agency acceptable to all  states/centre  .many contractors specially appointed by state do horrible work at huge cost /time escalation.

E)Insist to fill all judiciary vacancy by march 2026

F)Enforce police reforms  and increase police recruitment

G)Enforce land reforms  by digitising land records and updating realistic price. Have to end benami land ownership

1. H) make compulsory for any central or state govt to accept or reject with reasons  any proposal  from any indian or foreign investors. still files are stuck for years

I)Tourism is our biggest hope for revenue  so no central or state or municipality can have more than 15  licenses  and that too should be either granted or rejected with reasons in 2 months .In most states there are average 75 permissions.

I can add  many urgent  points but to start  if above can be strongly canvassed by The print in article  and video presentation with assurance that relevant points will be persued by The print with respective govt judiciary and concerned dept ,media and bureaucracy something may come good

Jai Hind
