Police dilemma
The article “Police – Judicial Equation” (March 12th) is thought-provoking. The author correctly emphasizes the work environment of police “pressure cookers.” But the court deserves contemplation to show his greater sensitivity to human rights by the apex, by his respect for “sane advice” – to the police. The advice is pressure that police functions cannot be used as a trick to destroy rights.
High officials need to support the police rule of law by not embracing partisan bias.
By setting exemplary standards of integrity, discipline and dedication to constitutional norms, officers should clearly communicate what they want from their subordinates and encourage the desired outcomes for effective police.

Trade Tariffs
Apropos’ “working on offer to improve tariff cuts for the US” (March 12) (March 12) tweeted from the opposition bench that India is proposing significant tariff cuts to “sat” the US administration that could affect our industry and agriculture. These voices will help to remind the 1991 tariff cuts of the Rao-Manmohan Singh government (reportedly in the IMF claim). They then pat on the back and continue to celebrate “opening the economy” and “reform.”
If such tariff reductions are “reform,” they must be welcomed. In any case, Indian industry is currently on a strong footing and can compete globally.

CSR expenditure
See the news report (March 12th) that increased 13% from 2022 to 23, particularly in healthcare and education. This is a positive development. Finances are large in areas such as environmental protection.
Currently, the threshold limit includes net worth of at least 500 crores or sales of at least 1,000 crores or net profit of 5 pounds to forcefully spend a 2% net profit on CSR. Net assets and sales limits may be reduced by half to introduce many companies into the CSR range.

Addressing male calves problems
apropos “Bl Agro to RS 3000 Cr… Cow breeding, dairy products technology” (March 12th).
Dairy farmers in Karnataka are staring at this issue in the region, given that the majority of dairy farmers are medium and medium in size.
This serious problem must be addressed scientifically and scientifically by dairy farmers’ practice of abandoning male calves due to affordable maintenance costs.
