Good move,
However we need to eliminate the tendency or advancing to commit crime as we say prevention is better than cure.

Bangalore was the most preferred place to live, so many rich from Bombay moved to Bangalore in the past because of every good factors there like peace, environment, whether.

Doctors at the hospital said the condition of the infant, who was admitted with an acute respiratory infection, was stable and there had been a good response to the treatment being given in isolation.
