NEW DELHI, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- India's Supreme Court Friday issued a notice to the central government and governments of all states over safety of children in schools across the country.

A three-judge bench, headed by India's Chief Justice Dipak Misra, sought the responses of the central and state governments on the issue of implementation of existing safety guidelines for children in schools across the country and gave them three weeks to file the reply.

The court issued the notice in the wake of a public interest litigation plea filed by two women lawyers in the aftermath of the recent brutal murder of a seven-year-old student at a prominent school in Gurgaon on the outskirts of Delhi.

The student of class II was found with his throat slit in the toilet of Ryan International School in Gurgaon last Friday. Police on the same day claimed to have arrested a school bus conductor, who has confessed to killing the boy after trying to sexually assault him.

Though the local police have arrested two senior officials of the school for failing to provide security to students and adhering to security norms of the local government, the parents of the boy has moved to the top court seeking a federal probe into their son's death.

○ Deng Xiaoping is widely applauded for the legacy of his reform and opening-up policy. But some believe he is to blame for social problems such as corruption and wealth inequality.

○ Fans of Deng keep a relatively low-profile, especially compared to those who prefer Chairman Mao Zedong.

○ His fans believe that it was his powerful leadership that led to the success of China's reform and support upholding Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, as the core of the CPC.

For Zhang Yonggang, a resident of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, February 19 is a special day on his calendar. No matter how busy he is, he always reserves that day to commemorate the man he considers the most important figure in China's recent history - former paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, who passed away on that day 20 years ago.

It takes Zhang more than one hour to get to Lianhua Mountain, where he places a bouquet of flowers at the feet of a statue of the diminutive Sichuan Province native.

Looking over Shenzhen from the mountaintop, Zhang, 43, says he always feels that "Shenzhen is the epitome of China after introducing reforming and opening-up and it has shown the way for China's future."

Shenzhen was once a small fishing village. After being chosen as a Special Economic Zone in 1980, making it a testing ground for the reform and opening-up policy, the village became one of the nation's first-tier cities.

"In the 1980s, people would have thought that you were crazy if you said Shenzhen could compete with Hong Kong one day. But looking at its development now, the city will very likely best Hong Kong in the near future," said Zhang.

Deng, who introduced liberalizing economic reforms in the 1980s, is regarded as the chief architect of China's reform in that period. His modernization plans propelled China from backwardness to being the world's second-largest economy.

He is also recognized as the core of the second generation of Communist Party of China (CPC) leadership and has been honored for the "one country, two systems" constitutional principle he proposed in preparation for the resumption of Chinese sovereignty over Hong Kong.

Ezra Vogel, an academic on issues related to China and Japan at Harvard University, wrote in his book Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China that no 20th Century leade did more to improve the lives of so many.

But beside the praise, many people blame him for the negative consequences of China's transformation, including corruption, high housing prices and wealth inequality.

"Reform meant a redistribution of interests. It's unavoidable that some people feel disappointed. But what Deng did was beneficial . [url=http://www.cheapnikejerseysnba.com/]Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapnhljerseysadidas.com/]Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapncaasportsjerseys.com/]Cheap College Hoodies[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapmajesticjerseysmlb.com/]Cheap Baseball Hoodies[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapcollegesportsjerseys.com/]Cheap College Hoodies[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapsoccerreplicajerseys.com/]Cheap Authentic Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapreplicanhljerseys.com/]Cheap Jerseys Wholesale China[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapreplicanfljerseys.com/]Cheap Replica NFL Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapreplicajerseyssoccer.com/]Cheap Authentic Soccer Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapnhljerseysreplica.com/]Wholesale NHL Jerseys[/url]
