Excavators, a nightmare for mountains



When i was in India Techs Ltd, i got opportunities to see many new places in my own district. I always took my nikon EF500 camera. Can anyone of u guess where is this place? You will be surprised to know that this in the middle of Trivandrum city region.Yes it is nowhere other than in Peroorkada junction.

It is because of earth removing equipments like tracked excavators,backhoe loader etc that rocks are broken and crushed to powders. As per the new government, mountains are not allowed to be excavated and fields not to be filled for building construction. Lets see what is the fate of the mountains that are existing now. These days people(contractors) are having a craze to buy a hill and a nearby field both can be acquired at a low cost as both cannot be used for the purpose of building construction directly. So the contractors are set to buy them and using the excavating machines which can also be obtained in rent at a rate of some Rs600 /- per hour, take the soil from the hill and fill the field and make the place a ground. Now they sell the land to business men for 4 times price making huge profit. Smart guysssssssssssssss but unfortunate mountains.

This was a bus



It is very pitty that KSRTC is not taking the responsibility of such useless things. They should not forget that this can be sold as a scrap and the material can be reused instead of allowing it to degrade there itself.Being the Ex-bus is on the road side, it can cause for the parking difficulty as well as road width problem in Kazhakoottam.
