Sound appeal
While we are still struggling to overcome the sorrow resulting from Pahalgam, we are further saddened to learn that some elements are turning hostile towards Kashmiri students in some parts of the country. In this context, one would like to highlight the adorable stand taken by a lady who lost her naval officer husband in Pahalgam. Her appeal to stop spewing hatred against any community and her insistence that we strive for peace must be heard loud and clear. Even though her loss is irreparable, her appeal deserves rich appreciation.

Conduct of NEET
My sister appeared for her NEET at the centre, Ilva Higher Secondary School, at Sena Nagar, Scheme no 31, Indore. She was at the centre on time but a downpour led to a power outage that lasted for approximately two hours. Shockingly, the centre did not have any backup arrangements and no extra time was sanctioned. This caused candidates significant distress. There needs to be fair resolution for all candidates.

NEET aspirants in Dehradun had a bad time. Between 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., there was a power outage. The generator was never turned on. In one building, there were no windows and many students could barely read their question papers.
