Tata company had planned a titanium factory to be built in tamilnadu. Good, that is something which is good for the people of that place and also to the government and also for the country....
so said some. then came the others...
If that factory comes, then many will lose their works and also lives.... those who had one their houses will lose their houses, and other stuff like that.
Ok now i got a question.... Why is it that the government always goes after the Agricultural lands. why can't they give the company some land which is of no use are not being used for anything useful. Why is it always after the farmers lands...
Ok fine take the land from the farmers, but why don't u give them the market value of the land instead of the government rate...( the government rate is 10% of market value)
On the wake of this lets go back to past for the start of this feud.. roughly some 5 years ago, when AIADMK was in power they signed with Tata Industries for this factory and promised land, and now AIADMK lost power and in came DMK and when that pact which was signed was implemented, now again the then chief minister of AIADMK rule Miss J.jayalalitha, now opposes the construction of the factory... (great politics isn't it?),
In between these arguments between the ruling party and the main opposition party some of the smaller parties have come up with some solutions which are worth listening or atleast giving a try i think..
The first was by Supreme star Sarath kumar. He is one of the actor turned politicians. He formed a group of lawyers and common people and asked them collect some background info about what would happen if the factory comes up, and also to go the people of the areas which were being planned to be acquired, and get the views of the people...and then further proceed with whatever we can based on these data...... I think this is a good idea, and seems the government is gonna try these, i read in papers today morning that Karunanidhi was talking about doing this.( the government is always late, similar to the Tamil cinema police).
The second one was by Captain Vijayakanth. He is also a actor turned politician. What he suggested was something interesting. May be a good solution if they are really short of time. ( this is my view, and i am in no way endorsing or following vijayakanth). He puts forth these points.
- Give the farmers the market value for their lands which the government acquires.
- Promise of employment in the factory for atleast one member of the family from which they acquire lands.
- Giving the farmers a part of ownership of the factory(this seems really cool, but since these ppl don't know the business tactics, it can't be said to be a safe thing for the farmers)
- Training them so that they can work in the work ( so that the company cannot reject them that they don't know how to work...)
I forgot the rest. But these seem cool. But still first the voice of the people have to be known and recorded then the rest can be done easily... Since it has been decided that the factory is going to come, i wish that they make the damage to the society and environment to the minimum... and also make sure no body gets affected because of the coming of a factory there...
wat da ya think?...
