more on kochi traffic

two wheelers coming thru the left lane takes sudden right turn at signals.i have seen it umpteen times at vyttila.

why not separate and mark out lanes atleast at signals

global warming and such great issues

to be frank i am thoroughly confused
about great issues like global warming,
deforestation perils etc .

latest of these great issues is overexploitation
of ground water. what will happen if we draw out the
water ? will it escape from the earth or will it
circulate in our system in the form of rai ?

traffic jam in kochi

kochi is a fortress bound by three bridges . no one can approach kochi thru any other route.
solution to the traffic vows of kochi has to start from these bridges. when i see the signal lights being installed on the south bridge i am surprised . how come someone in authority is seeing things in the right perspective. are we seeing some really effective steps to ease the traffic in the city.
may be . buses were recently diverted thru the canal road and the congestion did reduce . and the present move to allow traffic in both the lanes in one direction during rush hour may pay off.
if things are thus moving in the right direction shouldnt you and e join the moveent ? here is y suggestion

reinstall the manual gate system at railway junction. please dont laugh. i did not say close downthe bridge. i mean open up this additional passage. quite a few passengers going to and coming from the railway station can thus avoid the bridge.
not a small gain.

yes. we need to put up proper signals at the gate and at the mouth of the bridge. passengers should use this route only after ensuring that the line is clear. they should be signalled about this well in advance.

doesnt it involve additional cost ? negligible my lord if we compare the saving in cost of diesel alone. will the railways permit ? i dont see any vaild grounds for objection. we are only trying to use the railway line when it is idle .

purpose of this post is not to bring idea to the authorities. i know how difficult it is. if aam admi like you and me join and discuss i wouldbe happy.

traffic block in ernakulam

the main bottlenecks are the bridges south and north.

why not reintroduce the manned gates ?

the gate will remain open most of the time
especially in the south. a lot of small vehicles
can thus avoid the bridge.

a few years back we had these manned gates and
nothing else . why not bring them back as an emergency
measure

road repair

kerala roads are in gutters.
govt says conrators are playing games.
why not permit/encourage
bus owners association to repair
the roads. after all they stand to gain
the most from good roads.

have u read the the item last week ? killing girl child in the womb.
bad. yes. but why not see the other side.
who will foot the dowry bill ?
who will meet education and other expenses ?

cant the govt think of a scheme to take care of the girl children ?

is it not a much better option than making the act ( of killing female children
in the womb ) illegal ?

cant we see that no mother will do it willingly ?

and if the matter is viewed from another angle can any one
let alone the government order anyone to produce children
male or female ?

the great j c b operation

great . a very bold start indeed. but why use the jcb ? why not acquire them ? why not use the infrastructure ? the fear may be that the assets will be re possessed by the grabbers in the future thru court orders or infuluencing a new govt. why not plug these holes instead of opting for the easy way out of the jcb ?
