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.

Whenever there is a natural calamity like landslide, eartquake or tsunami, My grandmother says-"They have taken everything out of earth's interior and piled it up on the surface. How will it be stable?"
