It is high time that the government of Kerala to take a firm decision whether they want to find means to raise the revenue or to continue with availing loans trom all sources. If they are intending for more revenue the first available source to consider is tourism. All avenues are now open to raise the income from tourism by over five times of the record earnings of the state. In order to achieve this we need not spend huge sum but should maintain certain basic discipline within our state. No tourist will come here at the risk of their lives. We cannot expect them to stay on public roads. We cannot force them to remain hungry. Irrespective of political considerations, any government ruling the state should ensure, therefore, that: a) Under no circumstances traffic on roads should be suspended. b) Throwing stones or causing any damages to vehicles may be strictly prohibited. c) No shops or offices should  forcefully be closed.  All offenders may be ensured to be pun...

India has become notorious for the corruption activities in our government offices. There are middle men in corruption transactions. They use to say, if money is available, nothing is impossible in our government offices. Bribe  deals are so widespread in our government offices.

If a government employee is found accepting bribe, such one should be dismissed from service forth with irrespective of the amount received.

The subject 'bribery' should be treated as a social vice and included in the school syllabus from Class 4 ...

The Corporation do not have adequate fund to run the show. Is that the disease to prescribe the medicine? The prime symptoms noted are given here. While the private buses in Kerala have an average of below three employees per bus the state corporation has over six employees per bus. This excess staff strength should be brought down considerably. The surplus employees may be transferred to other departments. Similarly the mileage given per bus is an average of little above 3.5 km/litre in KSRTC whereas this is above this level in private buses. Find out the reasons for the low mileage in KSRTC and try to rectify the same. These two segments should be considered on priority. Further to this try to prevent most effectively all corruptive practices within the Corporation at all...

(India deploy Brah Mos missiles in Arunachal Pradesh. Image courtesy, Hindustan Times) What makes China to have a never ending enmity with India? It is beyond the conception of every Indian and may be most of Chinese people too. Despite all these unprovoked actions by the Chinese governments since long, no Indian hate the Chinese people. Rather we all maintain love with all of them. Why the Chinese government keep irritating their neighbours? China has more land than India have. China have a bigger population and a much higher GDP than ours. What else they expect to snatch from us? Dear Chinese government, you should not try to annoy or threaten us by deploying some uniformed people with arms and ammunition at different boarder points.
