Dusty tales.........

As I see it, there is hectic construction activity going on in the city and suburbs. the population ogf TVM will have a phenomenal impact on it.......from a mere 1million city population, it can jump to 1.5 million in next 3-4 years as lots of IT, Electronics, R&D, Education and related service industries are coming in a big way........ Also will the no. of motor vehicles be increasing drastically...........including heavy vehicles and of course traffic due to VISL will hit the pollution levels to a new high.......As many cities have witnessed rapid development at certain stages, they succumbed to pressure due to population, lack of natural resources, pollution, waste, sewage...etc....It is good to have high speed data cables landing in Trivandrum including Reliance FLAG that act as catalyst to IT and ITeS development......but also it should be ensured to have high speed road corridors for traveling from one end of the city to another very fast. Moreover, some of our roads in the city dosen't have proper footpaths or shoulders so that dust will not be generated. Our ever increasing vehicle population is causing dust pollution and is a cause of immediate concern......
