Another menace

As people with true values and tradition, we should do everything to curb the menace of spitting in public places. The government can ban spitting in public places as it did prohibit smoking.

We know that many viral infections are widely prevalent and they are bound to spread through saliva. It is important to build public awareness on the issue. I request the media to give the issue the attention it deserves.

C.N.R. Ajai,
