Paying with his life

Sir, — Satyendra Dubey, a senior engineer of the NHAI, who was shot dead by unidentified assailants at Gaya while supervising the construction of the Prime Minister's dream golden quadrilateral road project, had a reputation for being upright and honest. Perhaps this was his fault.

B. Jai Kumar,
Visakhapatnam, A.P.

Sir, — We need someone like Jayaprakash Narayan to give a clarion call against the prevalent state of affairs. Today, anyone who dares fight corruption and expose the mafia-politician nexus is destined to die. Dubey is one such victim.

A.K. Ghosh,
Dhanbad

Sir, — The situation in Bihar is similar to what it was in the pre-Independence days.

Abhinandan Prasad,
Patna
