tamil nadu government is finally coming out with a 'great' proposal to tacke the tirupur pollution menace.

it seems they are planning to lay pipeline from tirupur onto a coastal area (the coastal area in all probablity is cuddalore. the area with its obnoxious sipcot area is being earmarked for further polluting units that can increase the gdp and of course 'develop' india).

from the hindu link,
Wrapping up the discussion on the motion of thanks to the Governor's address, the Chief Minister said one option was to lay pipelines to let out effluents from dyeing and bleaching units in Tirupur. Unlike areas in Maharashtra and Gujarat, Tirupur was not close to a coastal belt. Considering the distance to be covered, the cost was estimated at Rs. 700 crore approximately.

why bother about clean technologies, why bother about accountability, why bother about multinationals who want products at cheaper prices to satisfy the cheap-goods-mongering consumers, why bother about clean up, why bother about compensation to several thousands farmers who have lost several thousands acres due to toxic tirupur pollution, why bother about putting cleaner process to tackle pollution. just throw the toxic effulents through a pipeline onto coastal area(cuddalore) and forget about the whole thing.

very nice. when it comes to development of india, we hear no evil, we smell no evil and wee want to see no pollution also.
