TRIVANDRUM CITY-FLOOD&other DRAWBACKS

All people who know TVM City know that the Flood & other problems of TVM were occurring,especially Flood as a result of neglect from Various governments came into Power by turn in every 5 years& of course due to the unstable arrangements from the city corporations. The corporations has to listen also to the views of the changing Governments every 5 years.their hands were tied without rope by the Party Leaders & the rulers every 5 years. In fact Fllod in TVM had always been due to manmade decisions from the Govt & corporations. A Report Appeared in KeralaKaumudi of 3rd January In an article Viz"PRALAYAM MANUSHYA SRISHTIYAKUMBOL"throw a rigt light into the picture of the conditions &reasons for the deterioration of the roads & basic reason for Fllod in the city. The Govt & Ministry representatives were very safe because no one can pinpoint the lapse as a New Govt can always put the blame on previous Government.this has been the story of TVM in turn since a very long time. The Corporation too followed the same procedure of the Govt. In short the City was always in a state of uncertainty because neither Govt nor Corporation took real interest as they could always save their skins by passing on the Blame each other. This hide& seek game of Govts& Corporation were going on just under the noses of the people of TVM City.They too did not bother because of fear& generally people believed and acted as if they are interested in peaceful& joyful life alone. No one had time in the City to bother about the Por & untrodden even though Parties climbing to be belonging to Poor people alo ruled the city many times.This is not the situation in other Cities of the Country.In THRISSUR City still water goes away shortly after rains because no one interfered with the setup of Thekkinkaadu Maidan,perhaps fearing the Wrath of Vadakkumnathan & the Conding of THRISSUR Pooram.but no one app eras to have bothered with the wrath of AnanthaPadmanabhan& Ananthasayanam though all are bothered about the NIDHI underneath the Great Temple including the neighboring TN Government!!!. It is believed that in olden days TVM City used to be one where the dirt in the Streets were washed out by rain whenever a shower occurred & within minutes the water used to get drained after rain.never a Fllod occurred in TVM city in olden years. New constuctions & so called developments later on prevented even rain from doing it' noble deeds to the city by men ruled there. In the name of Development the political leaders,officials& members who ruled made their pockets richer without bothering for Poor. The result .the City never improved but instead deteriorated beyond recognition. A typical instance of neglect was the Poonthi Road in KUMARAPURAM which remained without repairs for decades!The cable companies which were dogging the road even started growing Plants were digging was going to indicate the dangerous areas were accidents were possible.the plants also growing rapidly indicated to every pedestrians the in the near future the road was not going to get repaired. This Road was one of the most useful Roads connecting the famous Chitra Hospital.Kim Hospital, the Airport& Highway to the City. The Thampanur Railway Station area of TVM CENTRAL Station always remained Flodded during monsoon & whenever rain poured in. Thus in a year just three months were free from flood in TVM. The CM of Kerala yesterda by paying a visit to karimadham colony announced an immediate relief of Rs 5 CRORES to people suffered from the damages due to flood occurred in the New year Rains. The estimated cost of damages to the District was estimated at Rs20 CRORES the majority of the amount in respect of the City alone.In the city of TVM alone 5 people were killed,20 housed totally damaged& 1250 people are stated to be staying in emergency relief Camps! In the district of Thiruvananthapuram1640 houses were destroyed178 totally& 1462 partially. In the circumstances,it is time for the people & rulers of the City& District to wake up & start thinking about the about the future of the City& the welfare of the people belonging to the City& the Districts. Apart from Thiruvananthapuram puram & Idukki there are many more districts in the state the fate of which would come to light when the nature decides to strike at her convenience! So always EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!! SreedharanMundanat
