Pondichery as an Union Territory receives more than neccessary fund from the Central Government and use it unproductively.

The announcement of the government of the start of a new Government Medical College bears an example of it.Already there are soo many medical colleges in the UT.There are freakish adding one more to the list.

This case is just an example, laying roads over and over and over again on an road which is already in very good condition,liting highmast and street lamps even during the day time are some of the other examples.

Now there have proposed to build a new cricket stadium.Not because there isn’t enough cricket stadium in the country, but to make a political gain and to loot away the remaining wealth from the nearby districts of Tamil Nadu by often bringing people of special occasions and making a large business out of it.

Ok what else?? they have a proposal to bring a free port(duty free port) in Indian Waters.They get so much from the Central Government so there is no need for them to generate revenue through taxation.The direct consequence of this act of bringing a duty free port will be,most ships will prefer this port and there will be large in flow of commodities,so cheaper price compared to the neighbouring state, consequently a large inflow of money from outside through the consumers from neighbouring districts and so an increased business activity and increased money flow in the their territory which only means a complete devastation of the economic activities of the neighbouring districts whose economic condition is already crippled due to the tax consession of the UT.

Its not all that the chief minister has announced that a subsidy of one crore will be given to entrepreneurs who are willing to start a new hotel in the UT.

ONE CRORE subsidy!!! is that paid out of the revenue generated by themselves??? une grande NON who is subsidising whos tax money?? In fact they pay very very less tax compared to people of others states, and get a lion share I am sorry a DINO SHARE.What a discrimination!! is this the equality the Independent India grantees for its citizens????

Rs 75 cr disbursed for tsunami relief in Pondy: CM
As much as Rs 75 crore had been disbursed so far towards relief and rehabilitation of tsunami-hit people in the Union Territory, Chief Minister N Rangasamy said on Saturday.

Housing projects for the tsunami affected people would be taken up utilising the loan from World Bank and funds generated from outside the state, he told reporters here while detailing the achievements of his ministry during the last four years.

He said the government had been in the process of acquiring 100 acres for development of infrastructures for a cricket stadium, educational institutions and a government sponsored medical college in Kadirkamam.

The proposed medical college would be started during 2006-2007 and the approval of the Medical Council of India was being sought for the same. It would have 100 seats.

He said that Rs 1 crore would be available as subsidy to private entrepreneurs constructing hotels in the Union Territory as the government was keen on promoting tourism.

His government had been able to maintain law and order and this was chiefly responsible for development of Pondicherry, he said adding the plan outlay for the current year had been fixed at Rs 810 crore compared to around Rs 400 crore when he took over in 2001.

He said the Pondicherry administration had expressed its readiness to hold the 2nd South Zone Chief Ministers Conference.

“Danish ship must be driven out”

The Supreme Court Monitoring Committee (SCMC) has said that the Danish ship “Riky” docked at a Gujarat port for dismantling, should be “mercilessly driven out of Indian sovereign territory without loss of time.”

Responding to a complaint filed before the Monitoring Committee by Supreme Court lawyer Sanjay Parikh on behalf of Greenpeace, an environmental group, SCMC chairperson Gopalkrishnan Thyagarajan sought a full-fledged inquiry by a Central agency into the “illegal” entry of the ship into Indian waters.

In a letter to all SCMC members and the Gujarat Pollution Control Board, Mr. Thyagarajan said the SCMC was against “entertaining any interest in allowing the ship to stay for ship-breaking. It should go back to its source country, get decontaminated and thereafter seek return observing all rules and regulations of the Basel Convention as well as applicable rules of the Indian Government.”

A formal order to this effect would be issued on June 2, a Greenpeace spokesperson said. “As far as SCMC is concerned, we take a serious and alarming view of the ship as fait accompli, which can have far reaching and adverse implications to India`s environmental care and concerns and international image,” Mr. Thyagarajan said.

`Intention to cheat’

“The ship changing its name and arriving on Indian shore illegally clearly demonstrates its intention to cheat and deceive. Its arrival is in gross violation of the directives on ship breaking of the Supreme Court. The ship should not have been allowed to enter Indian territorial waters at all. The letter from the Danish Minister for the Environment cautioned India loudly and clearly. If the ship is considered hazardous by Denmark, the Basel Convention requires India also to treat it as such.

Annual cart festical just ended in Pataleeswarer temple.It was really beautiful this time.

Almost all the buses which start from Cuddalore Bus Stand use the wrong( they keep right lane) to go towards the Anna bridge.i.e., the buses come out of the bus stand through the gateway whicch is originally meant for the buses to enter into the bus stand.

They used to do it in the late night hours.But now come this even by 10:00 PM.This interrupts the free flow of traffic in Lawrence Road also increasing the chances of accidents.

Officials must look into this and prevent the buses from violating the rules this way.

Finally after lots of difficult I got the photo taken by Arko Datta in Cuddalore two days after tsunami.

World Press Photo jury chairman Diego Goldberg described the winning image as “a true spot news picture with a strong photographer’s point of view.” According to jury member Kathy Ryan, Datta’s photograph is a “graphic, historical and starkly emotional picture.”
