Flyover & Metro at Badarpur Delhi

The work of metro rail and flyover from Badarpur Thermal Power Station to Sector-37, Faridabad is in full swing keeping in mind to complete them before CommonWealth Games 2010. Although it is do not seems to be possible to start Badarpur flyover before Games but i hope that the work will not stop after complete of CommonWealth Games due to unavailability of funds, political hindrances, bureaucratic red-tapism etc.

Now Delhi is only 6 months away from CommonWealth Games. The development of Metro and Flyover at Badarpur will increase the prices of Real Estate in Surrounding areas of these two projects. As peoples working in Delhi will definitely interested to living in and around Delhi. Start of Metro and Flyover will decrease the traveling time to and from Delhi so the demand for surrounding area will be more and price rise will be seen.

Madhya Pradesh to allow women work two shifts in factories - Hindustan Times

It will be good initiative towards women's welfare but as we know the exploitation of labour in industrial sector is not satisfactory. Is Government has planned / designed any safety measures for the same. What system, procedures and other things should be provided and completed by industrial house before inviting women's in night shifts. Ways to protect the dignity of women's must be maintained before any organization is allowed for 2nd shift of working of women's at its place

Also our social system will have a great impact of it because generally Indian Families are headed by Sr. Male of the house, it will definitely increase more burden on him keeping in view the status of unemployment situation in country. The decision will have great impact on our social and family system.

Pepsi accused of over extraction of groundwater - India - The Times of India

As per the news on Times of India website the state government of kerala has made a report regarding over extraction of ground water by Pepsi at its plant in Kerala. It is good that now the state government is reviewing the working of Pepsi Plant for over extraction of ground water. But the response of company to media is that is using innovative recycling and recharging techniques to save water and brought down the usage by 60% in last few years. Also the company has received environment and water management awards.



I would only say that company should be allowed to operate but must be on the strict norms that it will invest its resources for recharge of water not only in plant but also in surrounding areas of plant. The performance and result must be verified at regular intervals. Also Pepsi should try to spread awareness in that area for improve of environment and provide funds to the local NGO's and start some project to increase ground water levels.

Government to table nuclear bill amid fierce opposition- Hindustan Times

As per news on Hindustan Times News website government is going to present nuclear bill in parliament today which gives benefits to nuclear equipment / material suppliers in case of any accident. Simply in case of any Bhopal Gas Tragedy like accident the equipment / material supplier will only have limited amount of liability and civilians / law of land will not be able to penalize the supplier crossing that limit and may be bill also says that it will not be a criminal offence. The bill is commitment made in 123 civil nuclear agreement with USA. Ultimately in case of any problem civilians will be not able to get any compensation and in view of political interest at last the compensation will be paid from the Government of India pocket means complete loss to the nation and whole profit to the suppliers.

If this bill is a requirement of 123 civil nuclear agreement with USA then i will say the interest of nation is not protected in 123 civil nuclear agreement and US negotiators has surely dictated it and able to manage / save the interest of America.

I strongly oppose it.

Save Aravali

Their is a news on Times of India website that government is going to recover amount of rehabilitation from offenders. It is really good if government successfully recovers amount of rehabilitation from the offenders who created havoc in this area for the own individual interest. But it is a known fact to local peoples that most of these mines are under the command of political leaders and main source of income for them. Due to political power in their hand i think it will be not possible for the government to recover the amount from offenders and later on matter will thrown in to cold bag.

But even now if mining is stopped and environment laws are enforced strictly and rehabilitation project are implemented on war scale then we will be definately able to save the environment of Aravali Hills. Also all the existing residential / commercial / industrial set up in aravali are must be forced to take measures to stop the pollution generated by them. Also some environment tax must be imposed on all the setup existing in aravali hills and additional charges must be imposed on new projects asking permission to operate in these hills.
