    There should not be any construction under HT lines for the safety of individuals exposed to strong magnetic fields. Will the authorities explain?.

    We are all talking about Forest fires? But what about this? Why nobody is bothered about fire in shops causing lakhs of rupees damage. It seems to be something fishy.

    Brother, do you know that they have been operating without licensed? Without any true knowledge, just to make a comment, please don't mislead the readers here! It's operational in a land owned by an Advocate, on rental basis from the last 4 years, with necessary documents & licences!

    Where did you get such information in this news bro? Your pre-determined mindset assuming it?? What a cheap way of publicity stunt man. Come on, Grow up! Why minister's name to be dragged in this matter? What you think of his duty? Any idea? Or you want Mr UTK to visit every shops & premises to make a checklist of its licence & other papers! Other MLA's are doing so? ...Advice you, Just don't comment for the sake of a publicity!

    Even if there was NO license. You haven't done any breach of law in your lifetime in India?
    All street vendors sell their goods with licence. It was a fair business bro grow up.
