Israt Jehan - A Grieving Martyr.
The good will of the Indian Police Force is once again tarnished with the new development in the Israt Jehan case. The Special Investigation Team has come up with a new finding that Israt Jehan, Javed Sheikh(Pranesh Pillai), Amjad Ali Rana, Zeeshan Johar, was 'murdered' in a fake encounter staged by the Police. 
             Israt and the other 3 people who were once labelled as terrorists are now 'grieving martyrs' who died for nothing or may be for something, someone wanted to hide. The crime filed against these people was, conspiring for the plot to kill the Chief Minister, Mr Narendra Modi who is already a master mind in the Gujarath Massacre.
            Nobody can give back the dead peoples life. Let us hope no more Israts would hit the headlines of the news papers as  part of fake encounters.

Mullaperiyar Issue - To be or Not to be
No body has a clue of what is going to happen with Mullaperiyar Dam, Neither the Govt. of Kerala nor Tamil Nadu. Everyday concludes with some abstract ideas of what both the govt. are planning to do, keeping the people at the verge of fear. The lack of forecasting is strictly evident in this scenario. The surki made dam wont be strong enough to hold the 999 years contract. The renovation of the dam or such conditions were not mentioned in any place by both the parties in the treaty, during its signing  in 1886.
                                                    What concerns Kerala is the existance of the heavily inhabited area near the catchment area of the dam and what bothers Tamil Nadu is the disastrous drought likely to occur. But so far no body has been able to put forward a viable solution to satisfy both the parties having different interests. The 116 year old dam has been found to be prone to earthquakes and the already leaking dam is found not to withstand an earthquake of magnitude more than 8 ritcher scale. What makes Tamil Nadu more hostile towards the construction of new dam is their fear that the new dam will be controlled by the Kerala Govt, and the huge profits made (1600 crore worth electricity) will be at stake. Tamil Nadu pays kerala govt. mearly a sum of 40 lakhs per year as the lease amount and benefits heavily from it. They also doubt about the amount of water to be received.
