base use, misuse

Aadhar card has come to be considered as an all-purpose genuine proof of identity; A photocopy is being demanded and freely shared wherever it needs to be submitted (page 1, “Centre withdraws caution on Aadhaar photocopy”, 30 May). It is difficult to understand what kind of “common conscience” can be observed; Where a copy is required to be submitted, the same has to be submitted. It would be far better if the government comes out with a list of places where a copy of Aadhaar is not required or should not be shared. When it comes to ‘masked Aadhaar’, ordinary citizens cannot be expected to have the knowledge or means to download it, without relying on a few private internet hubs – the risk of misuse by the service provider is not ruled out. can go. In these circumstances, it would be preferable that the government issues an original “Masked Aadhaar” along with the normal Aadhaar card at the time of issuance and advise citizens to share only a copy of the ‘masked Aadhaar’ where a photocopy is required . Presented as proof of identity. Citizens who have already been issued a common Aadhaar card can be issued a ‘masked Aadhaar’ immediately.

There are new names and new stars. Whatever the purists may say, IPL entertains like no other. From teenager to 80 year old cricket lover, this is a great tournament. We are looking forward to IPL 2023.

Gujarat Titans played positive cricket throughout the tournament. Hardik Pandya’s confidence and restraint gave the right results. The tournament was well organized and unearthed some special talents such as Umran Malik.
