This is to draw your attention to a malicious and insinuating article, “Election and new BOM in the Forest”, published in your magazine, in July 2023, which generally has positive and useful content.
Mr Vishal has narrated his personal view of dirty politics in the Forest RWA, which was missing before he entered our society recently. There is an effort to use flowery and condescending language that has turned out incoherent and subpar for any printed publication. He starts with national elections in our illiterate country, goes on to the lamb and wolf story, and finally to elections in the Forest. We are not sure if he is suggesting that Forest residents are illiterate, but he is equating some widely respected members of our society to wolves. Furthering such views, in such an acidic tone, is a clear misuse of your platform. I am surprised that the editorial process did not weed it out.
We earnestly request you to retract this article. And please watch out for such content in the future.

Editor’s note: We take the reaction to the article seriously; at the same time your faith in us for the ‘positive and useful content’. Our sincere apologies for the content that has hurt the society residents, which has never been our intent. The author being part of the society, we did not delve deep into it – an inadvertent error on our part. Necessary action will be taken.
