#Compensate #fishermen

The fishermen's protest in Vizhinjam aims to protect their livelihoods and in that sense it is in the right direction. The unscientific construction of "pulimutt" as part of the port of Vizhinjam, will deprive their workplace. Without a seaside, how could fishermen go to sea?

 

The reason why the leaders of the Latin Catholic Archdiocese have taken up the issue is the following: the political parties have turned a deaf ear to the demands of the fishermen.

The recent trend that has been seen in the coastal belts is that the resort mafia, in collusion with tourism sponsors, are buying up the seaside at a high price, pushing the poor out of the belt. This will actually make the lives of fishermen miserable.

Due to repeated weather forecasts, fishermen are denied employment several days a year. However, no compensatory measures have been taken by the government for the loss of employment. For a storm in Kozhikode It has become a practice to prevent fishermen from going to sea throughout the entire coastal belt. And without an alternative arrangement, it is detrimental to prohibit fishermen from going fishing.

Fishing is the sole source of income for the poor living in the coastal belts of Kerala. And without seaside and work how they could survive. Hence, there are enough chances for a strong protest on the sea coasts of Kerala.

Kerala Port Minister Ahamed Devarkovil criticizing protesters alleging people from outside the district are demonstrating in Vizhinjam is in bad taste. Sea fishing is not restricted within a district. It's cross-district, cross-state work. Even fishermen from Tamilnadu reach the sea of ​​Kerala for seasonal fishing. The dispute will therefore also be inter-district.

If the government has a concrete rehabilitation project, tell the fighters what exactly it is. They should be adequately compensated for loss of work and loss of property.

Stop the liquor trade

Stop the liquor trade.

Liquor in the state will become more expensive as the Beverage Corporation agreed to raise the rate by 10%. This will surely affect ordinary people who find pleasure in cheap liquors.

With the bad policy of the government, Kerala has become a country where ordinary working people spend their hard earned money on alcohol and lottery. But the liquor trade is a loss for Kerala as BEVCO recorded a loss of over Rs 1000 crore last year.

In this case, the government should stop the liquor business and turn it over to private companies with the necessary regulations so that the government can make a huge profit from the liquor business.

Staff currently working at BEVCO can be advantageously assigned to other departments where employees are needed.

Discussion of an inexecutable project

It is good to see that the state government has decided to listen to former railway engineer Alok Verma and others who raised strong objections against the technical feasibility of the SilverLine project. Along with Alok Verma, Subodh Jain, RVG Menon and Joseph C Mathew will also attend the meeting.

It is known to all that K-Rail is an unworkable project which does not serve any particular purpose for the commuters in Kerala. It runs parallel to the Indian Railway, causing unforeseen damage to the current traffic system. Other than K-Rail, Kerala needs major development in health sector, industry and agriculture The water bodies of the state need protection. There should be rehabilitation for the oppressed.

Neglecting all this, the Kerala government push for the One Lakh crore K-Rail project is bound to siphon off the borrowed money. This will put Kerala in danger.

Whatever the outcome of the proposed discussion between the experts for and against, the project will not be accepted by the people of Kerala. Silverline is not good for Kerala

Stupid Education

The UGC recently decided to offer two degree courses at the same time. UGC's decision is driven by a desire to empower smarter people to do the same.

So why can't UGC recommend BTech and BDS at the same time? Similarly MBBS and BAMS simultaneously?

The UGC's decision is intended to further handicap the already dilapidated BA/BSc / BCom education.

Another Nandigram

Another Nandigram

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the BJP-led Union government and the opposition Congress are hampering the state's development prospects. And for him, K-rail is only a development activity. As it takes more than 12 hours to travel from north to south of the state by road  K-Rail is a necessity for Kerala.

But in fact, the proposed K-Rail.project will displace more than 20,000 families in this densely populated state. It will cause serious damage to the environment as it passes through wetlands, paddy fields and hills. No serious study has been done on the project.

Many experts have also pointed out that it is not economically viable. Projects that are planned without considering the effect on agriculture and farmers in the state cannot be termed as development,

The Kerala government is heading towards another Nandigram with K-rail  unless it reverses its adamant attitude.

#Confront the #drug #mafia.

The threat of the drug mafia is at its peak in Kerala, especially in the Alappuzha district.

The mafia has developed several methods to obtain and sell narcotics. Their final target is mainly students and young people. And in this process, they even kill those who stand in their way.

The latest such incident is the killing of a person in Kumarapuram, Alappuzha district on Wednesday. The deceased has been identified as Sarath Chandran of Vairankode..  In Mavelikkara, another person was stabbed and a house was burned down by the mafia. There are also reports  from Poochackal' about repeated drug dealing.

The root cause of this threat is the inability of the authorities to act. Due to police inaction, the gangs continue to thrive and expand their network. It must be deduced that the mafia gave free rein with the help of a few unscrupulous police officers

Kudos to Indian Army

#Kudos to the #Indian #Army

Kudos to the Indian Army for their meticulous work in rescuing the boy who was trapped in Crevice on a hill in Malampuzha

However, Minister AK Saseendran preventing the Forest Department from registering a case against the boy who entered the prohibited area is interesting. Does the minister have the power to deal with criminal offences?

After all, what is this boy's name in the school records? If he is charged stating his name as Babu, the case will not stand as there will be none with the name Babu. His hiking buddy says he went to the top of the hill to hoist the flag. What flag? Is it the national flag?

The whole episode looks suspicious. Therefore, investigation is necessary throughout the episode. The boy and his companions should be identified and action should be taken.

Impunity in Kerala

#Impunity in #Kerala

The autocratic rule of CPM in Kerala is once again exposed by the issuance of an ordinance which allows the government to regulate the powers of Lok Ayukta. The decision to limit the power of the Lok Ayukta is a major shift in LDF government policy. The Lok Ayukta ordinance was not discussed up front.

In everything, be it K-Rail or Lok Ayukta, there is always something questionable. The CPI Secretary of State also doubts this line. The opposition is seemingly powerless to correct the corrupt practice of the ruling front.

Nobel Laureate Rigoberta Menchú once said: "Without strong watchdog institutions, impunity becomes the very foundation upon which systems of corruption are built. And if impunity is not demolished, all efforts to end corruption are in vain". By clipping the wings of Lok Ayukta, impunity becomes a bedrock in Kerala.

Media trial

#Media #trial crossed all limits

India's Supreme Court rejecting the Kerala government's plea to extend the trial in the actress attack case, is welcome. Otherwise, this case would have been prolonged indefinitely to divert ordinary people's attention from all the burning issues of the state.

Lately, it is a habit of the channels in Kerala to force people to move around issues involving sex and violence. The nun rape case and the actress assault case are examples. The hours that these channels have spent on these soap operas are far beyond any calculation. The recent Additional  Session Court verdict put nun rape case in the ashtray. Then, the channels began to overbroadcast the case of the attack on the actress.

 The general public has become too anxious about stupid issues of sex and violence. Households have become pornographic cinemas created by channels

By not prolonging the trial of the actress' assault case, the court has saved Kerala households from the current ugly channel affairs. The media trial of the actress' assault case has crossed all limits

Goondaraj

The incident that a youth was murdered and the body dumped outside Kottayam East Police Station is chilling. This type of horrible act will happen in a state where Goondaraj is in practice. Is Kerala a state ruled by Goondas?

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Society will not be ruined by those who have guns but by those who watch in silence."

This quote accurately explains the goonda raj of Kerala.

A bitter truth is that our police lack the courage to fight for something that is wrong with society. This may be due to interference from low level politicians. And if the state really wants to fix things, the police should give up their cowardice. If sees something wrong, immediate action must be taken and for this strong government support is needed. In the current law and order situation in Kerala, the police could not expect such support.

Praise to China

Praise to #China.

S Ramachandran Pillai's speech praising China at CPM Kottayam district committee meeting is controversial especially when China takes a stand against India on border issues and trade affairs.

Pillai expresses his loyalty to China and denounces India. If a Chinese citizen speaks praising India within his country, he would like not to be there to utter another word.

Some senior CPM officials in India have a close association with China under the presumption that China still promotes communism. But what's going on there is pure capitalism disguised as communism and every member of the Chinese Communist Party's politburo is a multi-millionaire.

Pillai declaring brotherhood with China is something against his motherland. Although a member of the Politburo, Pillai is a low profile leader who is unable to win an election in any þanchayat ward of Kerala. For him to win an election, he must run in one of the constituencies in China

Out of gear

Out of gear

The appointment of VC at Kannur University has become murkier with the current position of governor. Governor Arif Mohammad Khan has handed over the notice issued by the High Court of Kerala on the reappointment of the vice-chancellor to the state government.

The governor having already instructed his office to return the files relating to Kannur University to the government without taking a decision, it is the pro-chancellor's turn to take up the matter. The Pro Chancellor, the Minister of Higher Education. has already clarified that she has the right to write  letters to the Chancellor.

Moreover, the governor is correct in his position because the advocate general had said that he would not appear in the case for governor . There is therefore no other option for the governor than to relinquish the post of chancellor. The Governor is unable to appoint a private lawyer to attend his case in the High Court.

With all kinds of corrupt practices in the Ministry of Higher Education, the whole system got out of gear. Immediate maintenance is required for the system to function properly

Historic action

The central government introducing a bill to link voter id with Aadhaar is a historic incident. Most law and order issues related to polling stations can be solved with this movement

Election officers are often reluctant to take on electoral duties due to problems with identifying the voter with a voter card or other admit card. In a voting booth where only one party controls the situation, electoral identity cards have nothing to do with the voting system. 

Due to fear, election officials often take secure positions to avoid trouble where some party henchmen control the booth. When the Aadhar card is linked to the voter ID, the vote resides on the voter 's finger and the poll official has no problem conducting a free and fair poll

When Aadhaar teams up with voter ID to stop bogus and fraudulent votes, why

do Congress and other parties oppose it? The linking  of voter IDs and Aadhaar does not violate any fundamental rights. Instead   it stops false votes.

#Global #citizen harms Congress

Congressman Shashi Tharoor is always a strange man, whether he speaks for the Pinarayi government or shows up for a photo with the latest Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu. Tharoor was in the news for his opinions on the cattle class trip by Air India and also for his part in Cricket Sweat Equity.

This man with a good knowledge of the English language once confused former KPCC President Mullappally Ramachandran by writing a response in King's English. Mullappally was looking for Webster's dictionary to figure out the meaning of what Tharoor had written in the response.

A similar situation arises when the current president of the KPCC, K Sudhakaran, asks

Tharoor to explain his position on the praises of Pinarayi. To avoid the situation of asking for help from Webster's dictionary to understand Tharoor, Sudhakaran also asked him to meet in person.

In this regard, it is believed that Tharoor will unlikely go with majority Congress men, instead he will run with Pinarayi and contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha election from Thiruvananthapuram as an LDF independent.

Dialectical materialism?

The state government began to think about plans to resolve issues over appointments to universities after Governor Arif Mohammed Khan sharply criticized the political interventions.

Meanwhile, CPM and CPI leaders have criticized the governor when the rift between him and the state government continues. CPM Secretary of State Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said the governor's position on the nomination controversy was a mystery.

CPI State Secretary  Kanam Rajendran went one step further and harshly criticized the governor. He said the governor should not create a situation that would force the state to remove him from the post of chancellor.

Removal of the governor from a post without just cause is not permitted and can only be done by the President of India. There is no provision for the state government to remove the governor.

When the rulebook says like that, how can Kanam say the governor will be forcibly removed? When Governor  is ready to quit from Chancellor's post what is the need to push him out? Is it a part of dialectical materialism?

Dress code for teachers

Dress code for teachers

The circular from the Department of Higher Education stating that teachers may wear any type of decent and comfortable dress during work is welcome. The word "décent" should be underlined.

I say this because when a dirty Malayalam film hy name  'Premam' came out, there were a lot of teachers attending schools and colleges wearing black shirts and white dhotis. It was very bad because the teachers should not resort to childish practices.

Currently, there is no rule requiring female teachers to wear only the saree, but some schools and colleges insist it. This is quite unseemly because the churidar is more comfortable than the sari at work and when travelling. Male teachers who come to colleges wearing T-shirts without wearing innerwear are disgusting. Does anyone think the T-shirt and Bermuda are decent for teachers?

Although the uniform dress is unacceptable, pants (dhoti) and shirts for male teachers and sari or churidar for female teachers are the most appropriate. All other dresses , though comfortable, are unacceptable.

Allopathic fear

Allopathic #fear

Allopathy public health experts speaking out against the state government's decision to distribute Arsenicum Album 30c to students as a preventative drug against COVID-19 before schools reopen, is only natural. These people only have vaccines with a lifespan of 4 to 7 months. They have no proper explanation for why vaccinated people die from Covid.

The main concern of allopathic physicians is that the homeopathic medicine Arsenicum Album is a 17th century invented medicine and has no valid certification. It is quite foolish to ask such a question.

In Ayurveda, Chavanaprasam is a rejuvenating drug that has been used for years and if anyone is looking for a certificate for its authenticity, they are living in madman's paradise. Chavana or Agastya like sages never thought of keeping a certificate for their preparations. People use these drugs and feel a difference in their health before and after taking them.

Arsenicum Album 30 is not a medicine to treat Covid-19 but to prevent all types of viruses from attacking the human immune system. Since Covid-19 is a disease infected with a virus, it is natural to believe that Arsenicum Album 30 would  prevent it. There are also reports from several families where members who have taken Arsenicum Album 30c are not affected by Covid-19 while others who didn't take have been affected.

The fear of allopaths is natural. If Arsenicum Album 30 steals the show, the vaccine trade and associated allopathic treatment cease.

By this time, tens of thousands of people died from Covid19 and allopathists made huge profits with their vaccine and ventilator. Let people have the chance to have their choice for a while and see the effect of Arsenicum Album 30.

There is nothing wrong with asking the consent of parents of children before giving them Arsenicum Album 30

Vimukthi club

All educational institutions in Kerala will have Vimukthi clubs ahead of Gandhi Jayanti next year, Excise Minister Govindan said. It is about educating the younger generation about the threat of addiction to intoxicants.

It is true that we live in a time when even children fall prey to this evil. This happened because of the indifferent approach of the leaders. Although there is an age restriction for young people to access Bevco points of sale, it is not strictly enforced. Don't care  attitude of the Police and the Excise has made this state a green turf for drug dealers. Even some police officers are agents of drug dealers and they are making a huge profit from this dirty business.

Having established countless Bevco outlets all around Kerala, it is unwise to open Vimukthi clubs in compasses and lament that addiction to intoxicants has reached a dangerous level. Drug and liquor cases cannot be controlled by cosmetic treatment, but strict police action is required to catch drug traffickers.

Futilel hartal

So far, the Kerala High Court has issued numerous orders opposing hartal in Kerala. However, this time the court refused to oppose the hartal on Monday which was announced by LDF and UDF in support of the nationwide farmers' protest.

The court's observation that those who do not want to cooperate with hartal should have adequate protection if they want to go to work, will have no impact. As usual on Hartal's Day, people will stay home watching TV with snacks and drinks. None of them want to make a scene in public. State employees will receive their salary because one of the sponsors of the hartal is ruling LDF.

For the past year and a half people have been in a hartal mood with the lockdown, police case and fine over Covid-19 and they are all set to face the same thing one more day. Monday's hartal is futile.

Deserve salute

There is nothing wrong with saluting an actor of national esteem. Actors like Mohanlal, Mammootty, Suresh Gopi etc., are national award winners for best actor and deserve greetings even if not requested

The related video shows actor Suresh Gopi asking for a greeting in a low voice and the policeman handled the situation wisely. Any debate on this incident is based solely on politics.
