      Hardship caused by nomination filing

      Editor,

      As we are living in a modern society where the rule of law has attained high standards and the internet has driven us past the caveman period but when the show of strength gets past the better of us we find ourselves nowhere.

      I along with many ordinary mortals witnessed a traffic jam not led by the start of educational institutions. Why did the district administration not call for only the candidate, family members and a few top leadership of the party? It seemed not a nomination filing but a competition of sorts. Wondering what would have been for the ones seeking medical emergency treatment.

      We need to learn fast to dabble into tech driven solutions or else the words of Late Lee Kuan Yew in a South Asian diaspora will be right when he said that no single person can change India.

      Christopher Gatphoh,
