THE NEW YEAR 2012

We welcome 2012. The whole globe is in a melting pot of climatic change and all its fall outs affecting the lives of flora and fauna. In the world of fauna invasions of germs and insects of stranger breed are challenging the intelligence of man. There is a change in the cycle of seasons. When we expect breeze hurricanes strike. On the days when the sun is expected to shed is enlivening rays, heavy snow falls and blizzards take you off the feet. Many global conferences on climatic changes have not yielded the much desired result.

Species like sparrows have disappeared from the earth due to its inability to tackle or adapt to the disturbance caused by the wavelength of cell phone towers. Strange insects with stranger forms are seen eating away the flora. The formidable atmospheric pollution and disposal of harmful effluvia and effluents from industries are posing a challenge. Even strong government is making only a promise which remains unfulfilled for years.

To quote an example the Effluvia from the dying units in the weaving centre like karur and Thirupur still remain unsolved. The Ganges too requires a major cleaning up operation.

Radiation in and around atomic plants is a reality. We exhort the scientific community to offset radiation hazards by newer technologies user friendly.

In the light of agitation by Tamilians and keralites with regard to Periyar Dam, we request central government to issue a presidential proclamation making as the central subject all interstate rivers. As national highways there will be national waterways too.

When a representation goes to the government it has to be decided in a time frame. If they do not decide within the time allowed, the citizens are eligible for liquidated damages.
