India/Kerala
More than 260 million Indians do not have access to electricity as per reports of 2019

Minister of state for power Sri R K Singh has said earlier that by 2018 India has accomplished 100% household electrification in 25 states. While Jharkhand, Bihar and North Western Rajasthan are the worst affected states in the power sector until few years ago, rural Himachal Pradesh and urban J&K  are the states with maximum power outages in 2021-22.

While considering the power outages in Kerala it has become quite frequent in the recent times. Since the power cuts cause huge loss of revenue to the state and bring heavy burden to the people, the state government should make the following arrangements in the interest of the people. 1) Power outages should be audited in every three months to ensure that the cut, irrespective of the duration, is imposed only on unavoidable reasons. 2) The State Electricity Board should issue statement on monthly basis to the press indicating the revenue loss during the preceding month due to power outages.

Let us bring our power sector to the international level.

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
