In a surprising move, the Ministry of Home Affairs is proposing a slew of legal amendments that will lessen the punishment for road traffic offences, even if they result in grievous hurt or death. Pretty unusual for a country that tends towards harsher punishments for many things! We discuss the MHA’s thinking behind this, and what signals it may inadvertently send. In other news, the days of individual school canteen stalls may be numbered, as fewer people want to do the job. What will students lose if schools move to a centralised kitchen / cookhouse model for canteens?
