Ramchandran M. Nair has gone mad. What is the point in raising the issues of licensed prostitution and drug etc. here. If he wants to be a social reformer, he should start a movement for rehabilitation of prostitutes and drug addicts for providing them a nice life. Is he not aware that prostitution and use of canabis is legal in India too? Yes majority of people/workers use totally ventilated vehicles even in the scorching and sultry weather. Come down on the roads and only then you can understand the grassroot level problems and crisis Mr. Ramchandran. more

ELSEVIER is a publishing company based in Netherlands with a population density of 511 per sq:km. Sale and use of drugs is legal.Prostitution is legal. Strip clubs with sexual show on a stage is legal. They also have a great pollution control strategy. They have electro mobility. The highest temp ever was 39.1deg since they learned to keep a record.Today there are more refugees from middle east and other asian countries actively engaged in prostitution and drug marketing. Most use public transport which is air conditioned ( heating and not cooling) and they can afford to travel in "well ventilated" vehicles. None of the public transport buses or trains have a windows that can be opened. Another "copy,paste" artist. Have you been to Netherlands? more
