Disinvestment Secretary Sunil Mitra last month wrote to his counterpart in the petroleum ministry, R S Pandey, seeking comments on “public offerings from the government’s shareholding” in ONGC and IOC.

The policemen who filed fake charges against Ruchika’s brother must have known they were fake charges, and yet they went along. If complete justice is to be done, these men must also be punished. - Crime and punishment - Sunil Jain: Media"s decade">Sunil Jain: Media"s decade - Rathore granted interim bail till Jan 7 - Ruchika case: Rathore goes to court to meet his lawyer - Govt may blacklist ethanol makers on failure to supply to OMCs - Cooperating for cooperatives It is unfortunate that such rot has set in amongst the police forces, and this is why the government has to mete out exemplary punishment — if Indian citizens start mistrusting the police, then it will be a very sad day in the country’s history.
