WHAT IS AFTER THE LOCK DOWN


The coming months after lifting the Lock Down can be very sensitive for the whole country especially for the state of Kerala. Once the Air and Train services are resumed there can be a huge inflow of people coming from all over the world and from other states of our country. It can be beyond our estimation. Whatever quarantine arrangements we make can be inadequate for the number of people coming. Testing more people in a given period of time may be another challenge. Initially there may not be too many Covid 19 patients, but certainly there can be some. If utmost care is not taken the spilled out carriers can create havoc in the state.

It is preferable, therefore, to have a safe assessment, that too on the higher side, to set a target. An elasticity may also be maintained in the total number of beds available in the hospitals and the number of medical personnel available. A good number of nurses affected with the disease in other states who belong to Kerala have already made complaints about the inadequacy of treatment provided to them. The government of Kerala may consider this with a positive mind.

Let us all remember the fact that prevention is the only way we have now. Medicine cannot be expected in the near future. It is a matter of fact that the state government has handled exceedingly well the initial outbreak and we all together have to maintain the momentum.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
