Clearing the air
By ordering the enforcement of strict emission standards for non-commercial vehicles, the Supreme Court has clearly sought to enable Delhiites the luxury of a lungful of fresh air.
Quite so, minister
An ordinance on private investments in insurance by a caretaker government? Well, why not? Even putting a fine point on it, Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha is right to point out that the IRA Bill, incorporating private and foreign equity in insurance, was cleared by the Cabinet before the government fell.
For whom the polls toll
The timing of the general election, with its attendant economic and administrative consequences, has led to a great deal of confusion. One had assumed that since there was only a caretaker government in place, elections would be held immediately.
