Please do not confuse between civil code and criminal code. Criminal code is equally aplicable to all citizens.

Since we already have these issues the practical thing would be to make laws in a such a way that these factors dont come in the way of meting out justice. Thats where uniform civil code will help ..
The uniform civil code is seriously needed right from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Implementing and ensuring that it is adhered to, at gunpoint if necessary, is the need of the hour.

I have been reading and watching this since yesterday Kalyani, it is horrifying to see how the bridge has been allowed to reach such a state over the years.I heard some experts say that it should have been repaired a decade ago and the then gvt was advised to do so..
Actually the bridge was one of the 14 bridges in Konkan built by the British 100 years ago. The authorities had even received a letter recently from the British officially stating that the original guarantee of the structure was now expired and so the bridge be closed down. But is is said that the letter was ignored.
However, the authorities claimed to have conducted an audit of the bridge in May that revealed the bridge to be in good condition.
Experts say that down the river and many places on the same river, large scale sand excavation has been going on for many years. Sand, sent to mega projects in Mumbai and Thane, brings in millions of rupees, but has led to serious deterioration of the natural river bed and this led to the weakening of the foundation pillars. Therefore, the bridge which stood similar floods and rains for a 100 years until now, could not bear it longer and finally breathed its last.

The life of the Bridge, that was built in British era had ended after completion of 100 years.The search operations for the buses that were swept away could not be continued due to Pitch darkness. There was an uproar in the Maharashtra Assembly.
All the channels were broadcasting this tragic incidence since yesterday.

Yesterday night, on 1st August, a 100-year-old bridge collapsed at 11:30 in the night after River Savitri flooded due to heavy rains. Unfortunately it was pitch dark on the bridge and two ST buses along with 11 passengers in each bus with driver and conductor fell into the waters and vanished. Also a few other cars and small vehicles are also believed to be lost but as it was dead in the night, the exact numbers in not known.

It is still raining heavily in those parts making rescue operations difficult!

Long ago, when there were no channels apart from Doordarshan, a serial used to shown (I don't remember the name). Short stories of one or two episodes based on Premchand's stories were shown in that serial. Stories such as Bade Ghar Ki Bahu, Usne Kaha Tha and many more.
Kalayni , the old film Usne Kaha tha is probably made from his story..I have seen it and it is a very touching and beautiful film , which also had excellent musical score by Salil Choudhury ! I remember some old short serials lasting just 3 or episodes made by DD on life and relationships which were really good..
