Sir, This is with regard to the editorial, "Organ racket" dated 31st,January 2008. It is not only organ racket but organized racket.Every time when it is exposed, eyebrows are raised, statements are issued Nationally and notionally.The Governments,be it the Tamil Nadu or the popular Uttar Pradesh do act temporarily and highlight achievements of the Police in filing cases against the mafia- who are supposed to be educated and belonged to creamy layers of the Society.What is lacking is the identification of the basic issues involved and preventive measures adopted by the States in arresting the menace and averting the dangers, to which the hapless poor fisher folk in Chennai in the past after tsunami struck were exposed.

Yours faithfully, M.Muthukannu. Puducherry. 27.01.2008.
