It's OUR Time Now: Youth and Politics

It's OUR Time Now: Youth and Politics

Industrial projects (SEZ)

In last two three years three is too much written, shown and published in print and electronic media about land acquisition for big industrial projects, SEZ etc. Most common of these are Nandigram SEZ, TATA Nano motor plant at Singur, Reliance SEZ in Haryana, SEZ projects in Goa, etc. Few months back a big padal yatra held through many states reaching Delhi protesting against acquisition of land.

 

The main thing which comes to my mind why always fertile and productive land is used for industrial/commercial projects. Whenever fertile land is acquired , farmers gets unemployed and seek small service opportunity in industrial / commercial projects setup on their land.

 

A good solution of above is to use non-fertile land for industrial and commercial projects.  Acquisition of Non-productive land will give our country two tier profit system. While on one side it will not affect food production (which is already under pressure) and did not spreads unemployment in farmers on the other side it will use non fertile land and produce employment means double employment generation. Farmers who are already farming will work in their farms and rest unemployed peoples will work in industrial/commercial projects setup on non fertile land but the biggest hurdle in implementation of above is Corruption, Political wishes of our leaders and loopholes in system.

 

Since the announcement of TATA regarding closing of Nano plant in Singur everyone seems to be in favour of TATA’s but no one is saying why they are using fertile land? Previously everyone is saying and standing in favour of farmers.

Faridabad Roads

Due to heavy rain since last two months all the roads of Faridabad city have broken from many places and clearly tell the story of corruption. Bad quality of material, wrong tactics in construction of roads and approach to benefit individuals through in whole process are main reasons behind it. Water gets lodged on road and roads breaks downs. Although every city had bad roads due to rain, even our capital Delhi also but media covers the capital but forgotten to do the same for Faridabad. Crores of rupees are spent on construction of roads but none of the government organization cares for disposal of water when water gets lodged on roads due to heavy rains. It is not only government agencies who are responsible for it but every individual citizen is also responsible for the same. Every shopkeeper, home owner, etc. make a encroachment in front of his shop and home and cover the sewerage drains and waste water exit points which is the main reason of water lodging.

 

I request every individual to come forward which gives us a comfort at last.
