Western Ghats-The Protector turning into sufferer&Victim

The Western Ghats spread over an area of 12,65,000 Sq KM approximately across 5 states of Peninsular India. They are Kerala,Karnataka,Tamil Naadu,Goa,Maharashtra and at the tip of it just 450 SQKM of Gujrat. This area covers some of the important places like,Thiruvananthapuram,Munnar,OOty,Kudremukh,Panaji(Goa) Sindhudurg,Ratnagiri,Mumbai&ignorable tip of Gujrat. This area form the major Watershed in Peninsular India controlling the Rainfall Pattern across the country. The Western Ghats is the Protector of Peninsular India because the Ghats with enormous forest population is responsible for Neutralising an estimated 4 Million Tons of Carbon Emission every year.This is also about 10% of emission of Carbon neutralised all over the Indian Forests. The Western Ghats also protects people with the need for drinking water &water for other purposes. The Western Ghats is the superior force that controls climate change in the country. in view of what mentioned above,THE WESTERN GHATS IN TURN NEEEDS HER PROTECTION FROM THE PEOPLE OF INDIA. Why the Western ghats needs Protection? **************************************** 1)The Western Ghats is the main source of pure water which currently serves the entire Peninsular India. 2)Most of the Plants &Animal Species(Including Butterflies of various kinds with colorful wings) found in India are found in Western Ghats 3)She has the most important Horticultural&Agricultural Species&rich Bio -Diversity that helps in climate-proofingof the region. 4)the green Swathe of the Ghats helps protect the control of the Temperature&climate very effectively systematically. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTING THE GHATS,THE GOVERNMENT WITHIN THE FRAME OF CONSTITUTION OF INDIA IMPLEMENTED THE ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION ACT. Besides various laws were enacted &orders issued highlighting the vneed for protection of environment. However none of the efforts of the Government appears to have reached the ears of people residing in the area of the ranges of mountains.Perhaps this could be due to lack of conducting training classes to teach people how to protect the Ghats. As a result of these,two Panels of Madhav Gadgil&Kasturi Rangan were formed . The submitted their rports. None of the reports were were implemented inspite of discussions after discussions. It would appear that the real reson behind not implementing the recommendations of different committees is because of vested interest of Politicians &business people like Builders,quarry&mine owners who take interes in Improving upon their business prospects. Thus for the last many years nothing creative has been done to protect the Western Ghats except discussions after Discussions. Indeed a very sad affair as far as western ghats are concerned. wATER,lIGHT&AIR ARE THE MAIN INGREDIENTS THAT MAINTAINS THE LIFE OF HUMAN BEINGS.FOOD IS JUST SUPPLEMENTARY TO THESE INGREDIENTS. The western Ghats is the indirect provider of these ingredients to us! iT IS SHEER CRUELTY TO DESTROY FORESTS&DIGGING THE MOUNTAINS &POLLUTING THE SOIL&PLANTS IN AND ARROUND THE gHATS. THE GOVERNMENT ,POLITICIANS,BUSINESSMEN,&ILLEGAL DIGGERS SHOULD OPENTHEIR EYES THEMSELVES OR SOMEONE SHOULD COME FORWARD TO MAKE THEM OPEN THEIR EYES. pERHAPS,THE BALLOT COULD BE THE BEST WEAPON TO USE AGAINST PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE WESTERN GHATS SUFFER!!!
