Broker defaults in Stock Markets
There have been number of Broker defaults in Stock Markets. Result is Shares of Clients have been sold and huge losses suffered by Individuals and no recourse to recover barring FIR for cheating. The Power of Attorney given to Brokers is often misused.
A Suggestion to curb this would be to abolish all depositories including Stock Holding Corporation And Have BSE and NSE only as Depositories.
This would enable faster Clearance mechanism and finish any Risk of defaults by Brokers running their own Depositories.
Banks having online trading and Depositories would similarly have to surrender their Depositories mandate.
Hope this suggestion is accepted by SEBI to:
A: Speed up clearance mechanism and enable T+1 to be implemented,
And,
B: Finish possibilities of any Broker defaults.

Bureaucracy knows how to manipulate the system and Law
I fully agree with M L Gupta. Our bureaucracy particularly those dealing with public has become very smart and know how to manipulate the system and Law. They have no Morals and can go to any extent to save themselves.

Minus Gandhi family Manmohan Singhji will be acceptable choice with Kamal Nath as working president. Both can steep the Congress ship in these difficult times.

Allowing Ayurvedic Doctors to perform Surgeries in Allopathic Hospitals
Patience’s dilemma-treatment by Ayurvedic practitioners in Allopathic Hospitals. The recent notification by Central Council of Indian Medicine authorising postgraduate Ayurveda Practitioners to be trained to perform general surgical procedures has generated mixed reactions. IMA (Indian Medical Association) wants this notification to be withdrawn as it will be a retrograde step.
There is nothing wrong in training Ayurvedic practitioners for certain surgical procedure and treating patients keeping in view the acute shortage of Doctors in the Country. How ever, patients should be told in advance about it and consent taken. To make all these more transparent following should be done;
a) All Ayurveda Practitioners should use VAID before their name and not Dr.
b) All allopathic Hospitals should DISPLAY names of AYURVEDIC practitioners working there at the reception area of their Hospital/clinic and where are they posted.
c) According to Chairman of CCIM (as reported in TOI) 95% of ICU’s are manned by Ayush Doctors. If it is true, Consent of the Patient or his/her relatives must be taken right at the time of admission that they have NO OBJECTION to be treated by an Ayurvedic Vaid.
d) Government should set up more Ayurvedic Hospitals particularly in Rural Areas where there is shortage of allopathic doctors. These trained Ayurvedic doctors will be able to perform minor surgeries etc. at these hospitals.
e) All Hospitals should revise their fee/charges depending on the number of Ayurvedic doctors they are employing.
