Kochi Metro-delaying expectation

       Metro is coming to Kochi,this news is hearing for many years.But it is still entangled in red-file and controversy.Kochi Metro will reduce the traffic-block of Kochi, but it will be dream.
   
         The decision of Kochi-Metro was taken in 2005 (,i think).The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation(D.M.R.C)and E.Sreedharan ,the metro man will be the charge of Kochi Metro.The expenses will share both the Central Government and  Kerala Government.The permission of Central Government was delayed for some years.
 
              When the route of Metro ,there started protest.Some shop owners came to protect saying that some portion of their shop will lose ,vision of their shop will effect by Metro.When survey began some people made objection because they will get less amount from Government than market value for their property.

          If Kochi metro is coming under the supervision of E.Sreedharan and D.M.R.C ,the project will complete with in the time limit,no commission,quality of work will high etc are the expectation of common people of Kerala.But the delay in every process,years passed and Sreedharan retired from D.M.R.C.T he decision of Metro is sleeping in files.

            In 2011 the new Government decided to give the charge of Kochi Metro to D.M.R.C.and Sreedharan and the foundation stone, laid by Honourable Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in September 2012.But the Government didn't requested D.M.R.C to take Kochi Metro project nor sent the Government order to D.M.R.C.Again there is delay in Metro.  Rs.40lakhs/day is the lose if the Metro delays ,says Sreedharan.Kochi Mayer and councilors visited Delhi to study about Metro and requested President to give pressure to D.M.R.C to take the construction of Kochi Metro.Waste of money.Majority of councilors can visit Delhi in Government expenses and can say that, they tried their best for Metro.These councilors didn't know the problems of there ward and doing nothing for their ward.

               There started many controversy.The deleted M.D of Kochi Metro sent letter to  D.M.R.C,.asking the power of Sreedharan in Kochi Metro.The media reports that there is an I.A.S.mafia playing a Major role to avoid Sreedharan from Kochi Metro.D.M.R.C is not interested in Kochi Metro and they say many points for the same.The latest news is that D.M.R.C is busy in 3rd and 4th development of Delhi Metro and will not take Kochi Metro.Kochi metro may be a dream  and we can wait for the same for more some years.
                               
                          
               
                      
                          
               

Drunker's own country

Liquor consumption rate is increasing in Kerala.A small potion of Government revenue is from licence for bar,Toddy shop and sale of foreign liquor through Beverages corporation outlets.Honourable High court asked Government ,can Government by law reduce the working hours of bars ,so as to reduce liquor consumption in early morning as bed-coffee.But Government had different opinion.

              In Kerala,sweet Toddy,fresh liquor taking from coconut tree,can drink not harmful to health.But in Toddy shops, as the quantity of this sweet toddy is too low ,some artificial toddy is supplying.This artificial toddy contains spirit ans other materials ,harmful to health.If the ratio of these harmful materials is increased,death may happen to the drinking people.Then the same Government will give money to the dead one's family as compensation.
                          
                  In Kerala mostly the daily wages group are the main consumers of toddy.They get nearly Rs.500/day,they spend more of their wages for toddy and their family members had to suffer.The remedy is to stop toddy shops step by step.Then there is a statement from political party that ,the persons in toddy shops will lose their job.
  
                   Any Government will not take interest to stop the toddy shop and giving bar license because they get crores of money from this business.In festival days like Onam,X-mas and even harthal days crores of money is getting to exice department by the sale of foreign liquor only through beverages corperation.The visual media gives flash news about this in each district.But now the exice minister banned these type of news in medias.

                   Last day Asianet news channel reported that even plus two students gets liquor from beverages outlets without any questioning.There is lay that belaw 21 ages,no supply of liquor.But the news channsel reported that the students ,who worked for channels got liquor from many outlets at Trivandrum.When channel reported this ,the exice minister said he will have an enquory and will take action against those who supplied liquor to the young one.After more than a week,no action taken.
     Who is responsibile for this?All parents,teachers,Government all can take action to reduce this liquor consumption.Otherwise God's own country will become drunker's own country.
