Letter regarding too much importance on “Cricket Betting”.

Sir,

As a responsible citizen of this country, where cricket is a way of life and cricketers are considered to be “National Heroes”; I find it very ridiculous and disgusting that the media is overplaying its role in the case of “Cricket-betting”. Since the last month, cricket headlines have covered almost all the newspapers, thereby neglecting such a calamity like a drought which is considered to be a “National Disaster”, instead of smoothening the sufferings of the people with timely action, we are pre-occupied with match-fixing allegations. This does not benefit us as a nation, which is known for its humanitarian outlook. It is high time that the media adopts a more responsible attitude and gives more coverage to the drought-hit areas to create awareness among the people.

Yours Truly,

Nidhi.
