What you mean by so called development? See those videos of floids where you see thousands of luxury houses and luxury cars submerged. Compare it with thatch roofs in your state

If your state so rich then why more than half population running to Gulf? The truth is there is no industry except rubber industry, and the houses you are talking, is the gulf money where majority of you are working all kind of jobs.

Hey pixgshxt barbarian dumbo !
So, why did more than 5700 commoners of Uttarakhand die like flies when a relatively meagre 42 % excess rainfall hit them in 2013 ?
Is it because they killed cows and ate bexef and poxrk, you peabrain stinking mouth ?
Or is it because they are more dumb than keralites and caused immense ecological damage to the Himalyan slopes on which they have multiplied like rats ?
Any idea, you nincompoop ?

And who should come in their place ?
The Congress party that dumped the Gadgil committee report and diluted the wetland protection act ?

Please go around kerala and tell where industry can start. All places are fragile end environmentally weak. The population density is also very high. Otherwise massive deforestation should take place for industry. Do you advocate that?
led a committee of scientists in a 6 year long research to identify and quantify the different kinds of ecological and structural damage inflicted upon the western ghats due to mans activities as well as to suggest ways to reduce or reverse such damage.
The voluminous report he submitted has been extensively peer reviewed and critically acclaimed by environment scientists worldwide. The Union MOEF accepted his report, tabled it in Parliament and the Union cabinet recommended its implementation in toto in each of the western ghat states.
However, in a stunning sequence of developments, the BJP, the Congress, the Shiv Sena, the JD (S), the DMK, the AIADMK and a range of smaller parties of these states joined in a remarkable show of solidarity in vehemently opposing the implementation of the reports recommendations !!!
Most spectacular has been the unanimity between the BJP and the Congress in ensuring that the iron ore mafia and the rock quarry mafia and the forest land encroachment mafia are not prevented in any way from carrying on their activities full scale !
The by now legendary V S Achuthanandan, erstwhile marxist chief minister of Kerala, sought to implement the Gadgil recommendations in toto by beginning a determined series of destruction of unauthorised structures in the western ghat districts of Idukki and Pathanamthitta and also by enacting a *Wetland protection Act* with very stringent provisions that ensured that not a single square inch of paddy field or pond or stream could be filled up for construction activities. V S was so determined to reverse all the damage wrought on the hills in Kerala that he even positioned himself on the Munnar mountain, personally supervising the demolition of a large number of unauthorised structures that had been put up during Congress rule in the state !
And V S was so impartial and focussed in his mission that he had no hesitation in uprooting and destroying acres of tea plantation on land encroached by the - hold your breath - the TATA group !!
Alas, all his good work was undone by a determined opposition (Congress party) and the stuxpid middle class commoners who went about ridiculing his acts as destructive !!
And, once the Congress led UDF won back power in 2011 (by the thinnest of margins), the CM Oommen Chandy promptly diluted the wetland protection act !!

There may not be any need to implement the report any more. Whatever it wished to achieve, has been avoided by non implementation. If report is implemented now, it will be double expenditure.
Most of the landslides have happened are in ecologically sensitive areas, greedy men in construction activites have all flouted norms,construction and blocking the normal waterways, resorts are built on hilltops, houses are built on river banks, building are constructed on land where water must drain, etc etc. This type of disaster is bound to happen again and again, if we dont follow the rules and recommendations.

The Gadgil Report can be quoted evrywhere now, as authentic. With predictions having come true. A CASE STUDY.
