Statement: The police department has come under a cloud with recent revelations that at least two senior police officials are suspected to have been involved in the illegal sale of a large quantity of weapons from the state police armoury. Courses of Action: I.A thorough investigation should be ordered by the State Government to bring out all those who are involved into the illegal sale of arms. II.State police armoury should be kept under Central Government's control.
Statement: The car dealer found that there was a tremendous response for the new XYZ's car-booking with long queues of people complaining about the duration of business hours and arrangements. Courses of Action: I.People should make their arrangement of lunch and snacks while going for car XYZ's booking and be ready to spend several hours. II.Arrangement should be made for more booking desks and increased business hours to serve more people in less time.
Seeing the tremendous response, the dealer must make suitable arrangements and deploy more personnel to take care of customers so that they don't have to wait excessively long for booking. So, only course II follows.
Statement: Financial stringency prevented the State Government from paying salaries to its employees since April this year. Courses of Action: I.The State Government should immediately curtail the staff strength at least by 30%. II.The State Government should reduce wasteful expenditure and arrange to pay the salaries of its employees.
Clearly, curtailing of the staff strength will only increase the panic and discontent, and the satisfaction of the employees is a must. So, the Government should arrange for payment of wages. Thus, only course II follows.
Statement: The State Government has decided to declare 'Kala Azar' as a notifiable disease under the Epidemics Act. Family members or neighbours of the patient are liable to be punished in case they did not inform the State authorities. Courses of Action: I.Efforts should be made to effectively implement the Act.

Courses of Action: I.The cinema halls should be demolished and residential multi-storey buildings should be constructed there. II.The cinema halls should be converted into shopping malls.
Doing away with cinema halls is no solution. Hence, none of the courses follows. Instead, certain incentives and promotional schemes should be awarded to cinema hall owners so that they could manage to draw in crowds.
Statement: The Chairman stressed the need for making education system more flexible and regretted that the curriculum has not been revised in keeping with the pace of the changes taking place.
