This refers to your editorial “A new road map worth following” (January 25). The Verma panel, contrary to other commissions, has done a commendable job beating the deadline and responding to the public mood. Law students who volunteered their services to the panel have a proved point that they mean business, and not merely agitating. The panel was not carried away by the demand for death penalty and chemical castration but has suggested measures objectively. Its recommendations on electoral, police and administrative reforms should not be viewed as exceeds of briefing, since these had been suggested by other government-appointed committees, too.
