Dear Sir,I would be highly grateful to you and your group of publications if u kindly print a warning to the fortune tellers and so called astrologers so as not to create panick among the masses,specially living in Gujarat.It a well known fact that no instrument has so far been invented to predict earthquake as these thugs are doing.Thre has been a great loss of humanity in the devastating earthquake which recently rocked Gujarat and was one of the worst in the history of mankind.Let the media and the government unite together in creating confidence among millions of people ,specially children by correctly posting messages about the possible dangers.I think the latest roud doing the mental damage from rumour mill is that on 14th and 15th Feb,there is going to be worst kind of earthquake in Gujarat.People in Ahmedabad and nearby cities are on loads,sleeping in cars and tents and even in open out of fear.What kind of mediamanagement the government is doing?I know that even the people in government are also afraid of 15th Feb,the D-day?Will you please take care not to spread the falsehood in your pages,or the "would be" type of speculations?This is the time to rebuild and rekindle hope in the mind of grieving millions.Stop predicting earthquake like raiway time table.Regards.
