Statement: Duty free technology parks where foreign firms can manufacture electronic hardware components are proposed to be established at various places in the country. Courses of Action: I.Government should immediately implement the proposal to augment the foreign currency reserve by exporting the products. II.Government should not implement the proposal as it will hinder indigenous production of hardware components.
The step discussed in the statement would surely give a boost to hardware industry and help our country to stand apart in this field. Thus, only I follows.
Statement: The Central Bureau of Investigation receives the complaint of an officer taking bribe to do the duty he is supposed to. Courses of Action: I.CBI should try to catch the officer red-handed and then take a strict action against him. II.CBI should wait for some more complaints about the officer to be sure about the matter.
Clearly, one complaint is enough for a wrong doing. This should be confirmed by catching the guilty red-handed and then strict action taken against him. So, only course I follows.
Statement: The weather bureau has through a recent bulletin forecast heavy rainfall during the next week which may cause water logging in several parts of the city. Courses of Action: I.The bulletin should be given wide publicity through the mass media. II.The civic authority should keep in readiness the pumping system for removal of water from these parts. III.The people should be advised to stay indoors during the period.
The issue is not so big as to be made public extensively. So, I does not follow. Besides, the authorities must be prepared to deal with the problem effectively and persuade the people to stay indoors to avoid inconvenience arising out of water-logging. Thus, both II and III follow.
Statement: The exodus from villages to cities is detrimental to both. Courses of Action: I.Rural postings must be made mandatory. II.There should be fewer trains linking cities to smaller places. III.Employment generation scheme should be launched in rural areas.
Clearly, the exodus cannot be stopped by reducing the number of trains. So, II does not follow. The exodus occurs primarily due to better employment opportunities and facilities in the cities. Hence, it can be prevented not by compulsion but by making conditions favourable for those residing in villages. So, I does not follow while III follows.
Statement: A train derailed near a station while moving over a bridge and fell into a river, resulting in the death of 65 people. Courses of Action: I.The Railway Authorities should clarify the reason of the accident to the Government. II.The Government should allocate funds to compensate the destruction caused. III.The protection walls of the bridge should be made strong enough to avoid such accidents.
What is necessary is the preventive measures to protect the passengers, steps to avoid re-occurrence of such events and pay the sufferers adequate compensation. So, only course III follows.
