Their feedback on the journal and suggestions for further improvement will be most welcome. In case a Life member is no longer with us, the next of kin may please communicate his/her date of death to us to enable us to update our records.
 

We receive numerous letters. Replies are invariably sent. Normally, our receipt is about 20/30 letters every day. Kindly write only when you must. We are not equipped to deal with letters written in regional languages.
 

Donations to COMMON CAUSE are eligible for exemption under Section 80-G of the Income Tax Act. Your donations, and those of your friends, will be most welcome indeed.
 

he office of Common Cause has shifted from the ground floor to the second floor of Common Cause House. The relocation resulted in a prolonged disturbance of the rhythm of the Society's activities and was largely responsible for the delay in the publication of this journal. We regret the inconvenience occasioned to our readers and hope to bring out the next two issues in quick succession to make up for lost time.
