Request to contributors

The contributors are requested to send small files for publication. As due to unavoidable reasons I am unable to download heavy files.

My  broadband connection is not working for the last 15 days due to Big Road repair project on Shamshi - Kullu  highway and all telephone lines of BSNL have been broken down in whole Shamshi area   for unlimited period . This has caused lot of problem for Internet connectivity in offices and home. Now I am using another 2G connection which takes time to download heavy files. So plz do not send  your mails with heavy files.
