Juvenile Gang Culture

The lack of proper mental development of adolescents, absence of right supervision by parents at the time of inevitable changes happen in them, deficiency of getting quality time, indifference, failure of practicing patternedsocial values and norms, etc.- are the main reasons why 14 to 18-year-old adolescents in the country are immersed in juvenile crime.
The negative effects of globalization and rapid urbanization, misconceptions about friendship and juvenile subculture also play a major role in the unbridled arrogance and gang culture of emerging teenagers. To overcome such an undesirable situation, allocation of quality time by the parents, maintenance of existing social and family values by the kids, and inculcation of the human qualities in the adolescents are imperative.
Parents are the first and foremost institution for their children. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the intensive care and attention of the parents behind the worthy upbringing of the children. It is necessary to keep the children in the mainstream of society by creating strong social bonds through the exercise of friendly relations and by bridging the parental gap between parents and children. At the same time, it is very substantial to keep the growing children always involved in constructive and intellectually creative activities.

Price of LPG Cylinder

The demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is increasing day by day in various commercial establishments including home cooking and hotels and restaurants. But consumers are getting confused as the maximum retail price of LPG is not written on the cylinder. Companies and retailers are charging exorbitant prices. Besides, the prices are also increased at different times due to various reasons. In a word, the buyers are suffering financially as there is no specific policy from the government in this regard.
Despite the low price of fuel in the international market, such extra price of LPG of private companies and not writing the price in the cylinder is against the interest of the consumer. In addition, the suffering of small and medium businesses, including middle class people, is increasing due to such a large difference in the price of gas between public and private companies. Therefore, in the public interest, immediate effective step of the government is desirable to ensure fair price of LPG and price tag on the cylinder.
