Advertisements in the real estate sector needs to be regulated to prevent misleading representations that lure common people. Norms should be put in place and punishment for violations should be made severe.

A regulatory body should be constituted to approve the advertisement before it is advertised.This body should scrutanize the contents in light of claims given in advt and various acts regulating the advt giver. By charging nominal fee for approval more revenue can be generated for national development

A regulatory body has to constituted to regulate such fake and misleading advertisements which mislead people and fleece them. The advertisers has to submit the advertisement for approval of the body and then it can advertise. Media should be asked to reject such advt. if it has no approval of the body.Any posters and flyer circulated without approval should be punishable with imprisonment and fine.

There should be a Consumer Products and Advertisements regulation board that has to be set up. It's functionality 1. Independent testing of products and features as listed on product packaging 2. Review misleading information on Advertisements and penalize offending products on fast track Additional features 1. Research laboratories 2. Consumer grievance portal 3. Consumer research portal - Where individual researchers are allowed to post their research/findings on products

The revelations: Subhas Chandra Bose's family homes were kept under surveillance between 1948 and 1968. Never ever trust Nehru-Gandhi family. The betrayal to patriotism, mistrust and exploitation run in the Nehru-Gandhi genes. This must be the intergenerational teaching for true Indians and the Government must not insult further the true sons of the soil by hiding the facts and sheltering the tyrant of the nations in the guise of international harmony. Veiled realism cannot build the nation.

The news, "Call rates, SMS to cost less while roaming from May 1 2015 - now, with hands in glove nexus with TRAI, Telecom operators will charge different packs - another trap for Indians to get more cheated. Indians are the victims of materialistic positivism. Boycott telephone use for 6 months to break this nexus between TRAI & Telecom operators and to have 'one India' - one SIM card and 'one tariff'' and 'free number portability across country'. Competition must be on reach and call quality.
