GEOGRAPHICAL RECONSTITUTION WITHIN THE COUNTRY - MOST UNION TERRITORIES CAN BE MADE PART OF STATES


(The Church of our Lady of Remedios, Daman - a national monument)

Part - II

Dadra and Nagar Haveli
The union Territories of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu are situated at the north west of India on the coast of Gujarat. Daman Daman and Diu were amalagamated into Dadra and Nagar Haveli and made one UT on 26 January 2020. The reason shown for the amalgamation was to bring down the cost of administration and to avoid duplication of service. As this UT is remaining as an enclave within the state of Gujarat now, the above shown reasons still hold good and need correction.

The area of Dadra and Nagar Haveli is 491 sq km. Total population is 3,43,709. 62% of them are tribals. Among the tribals Dhodias are the largest one. Leaving below 3% Christians remaining are Hindus. Languages spoken are Gujarati, Hindi and Dhodia.

There is no reason to keep this small enclave as a UT. This can be very well amalgamated with the state of Gujarat. By doing so the duplication of administration and the expenses thereby can be avoided. By associating with a developing state this enclave can also be developed in a faster pace.

The concerned administration may look into the matter and take necessary action at the earliest.

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
