[www.keralites.net] Khatte-mitten khabhrain from around the world for 24/5/13

 

 
CSK players linked to probe; its CEO who happens to the son-in-law of BCCI chief, summoned by police for questioning.
 
(Me: Since cricket is such a fortune raker, everyone who is someone in India want a huge slice of the pie; and the larger the mega money-spinner anything, business, contracts or sporting spectacle, the bigger scam. Gawaskar criticized the Indian politicians who talk about the cricket scandal, for being crass hypocrites; he is no great symbol of virtue, either: because he gets crores as a BCCI official commentator, he has to defect the board, true to be worth his salt. Greed may be one of the vilest of all human emotions; we Indians particular excel in it. Incidentally, Gurunath Meiyhappan, the CEO cum s-i-l, is the scion of the AVM, the premier and most successful film studio in the South)

This proposal is only on the paper, to make it real, there are a hell of humps and dumps. In India, most of the cities are connected with metro rail in few years and Kerala being a rich state is still backward with low quality transportation facilities. Now the opposition with get a chance for HARTHAL on this gorund..same like ARANMULA AIRPORT, this also will remain as a sweet dream

Mr. Joseph is absolutly right...it s going to reach in that level...this s common promis for all politicians..
this project will b n real, if our CM stand strongly with out any other sources involvment and gv full support and power for the consultant and contractor to complete wth n deadlone period.
there are politicians and other business magnet looking for makes money as a commision behind the particular project. Moreover, there are somany people are fighting against the development including oposition parties... reason behind the labor groups and parties. politians need to keep their interest rather than developing. then only they hv chance to come up for next election...

Be Positive. Never under estimate the modern precast construction technique and fast project completion. Either Road or rail once done, it is 10 times difficult to widen it, because the development on either side takes place fast with buildings and roads and land cost shoot up.. Giving compensation to such development will be huge. Where as if we do the same and freeze the sale and development on either sides, it will cost less in later development. Some are still in the embryo stage. They want the National High way width only 30 meter and all over India it is 60 meter. Sri Achuthanandan asked why there is so much width leave between the 2-ways? He ignore the safety norms and the convenience of U turn etc.. Some feel such roads separate Kerala in to two. If we keep away these people, our development will be faster. Let us hope for the best and pray. Abraham

hello,

I read with interest the news about High speed railway in Kerala.  You can say it is a dream project because  we could not make double line from Trivandrum to Ernakulam after 40 years of the single line become broad guage. So many Kerala chief ministers have been trying for years but could not succeed.  Even the previous LDF governemnt also made some announcements and it will be ready within one or two years, nothing materialised.  All empty promises but no real action.  In this case also, maximum you can expect a inagural stone may be laid somewhere in a corner for the memory of this high speed railway.

Saving time is good for the commuters and the government. Working people can earn money form the travel time saving, People from Kasarkodu can work in Trivandrum. Railway can use the same train (all infrastructure)  6-7 times by saving time. The major part of the amount mentioned is going to the public for land. A state with extra long land shape need such travel means. Good luck to the project. I had this vision long back and a proposal was given to Mr. Mathew (Sec.to Oommen Chandy) when they were ruling party last time. Unfortunately they lost in the following election. Hope this time they will start. Abraham

Re: [www.keralites.net] Transport Bus Drivers.

 

All lines, patterns, words and colours applied on or attached to the road surface or kerbs are road markings. These are meant to direct, guide and regulate the road users. They are, in fact, the languages of road.

Centre Line: This white broken line divides the road into two, separating opposing stream of traffic. This line can be crossed if overtaking is essential provided the oncoming carriageway is clear

Double White/Yellow Lines:
These divide the road into two and overtaking/crossing these lines from both side and U-turn is strictly prohibited.
White less than and greater than signs: This indicates to slow down and proceed carefully. This road marking is generally found on roads near a school, college or hospital.

Small Broken White Lines:These demarcate the lanes on a road. Vehicles are supposed to move in between these lines. The left most lane is for buses, heavy vehicles and slow moving vehicles. The middle lane is for LMVs, scooters & motor cycles & the right most lane is for overtaking & turning right.

Parking prohibited Lines:Continuous single yellow/white line at the edge of the carriageway indicates that no vehicle can be parked but vehicle can be stopped along such a road. Continuous double yellow/white lines indicate that both parking and stopping are prohibited.
