Biggest news during this phase just remained to one post on ICF and hardly drew any attention.

RAILWAY BOARD CEO: FREIGHT LOADING RISES TO 102.12 MT IN SEPT 

Another indicator that economic activity is picking up .. 

Cargo vessel loading has also improved though it's not upto the level pre covid.

 

The MT which was getting loaded in 3 days was requiring upto 10 days. It's recovering now.

People are just happy that BJP is in power and keeping muslims in check. If Congress or some other party was in power, muslims would have taken over India by now. Small price to pay for the freedom to practise your religion.

Quote

The Tamil Nadu Government has said that the conversion rate of MoUs with investors into actual projects during the last 10 years has been about 82.4 per cent.

The conversion rate of 98 MoUs signed during Global Investors Meet (GIM) 2015 was 72 per cent, while that of 304 MoUs signed during GIM 2019 was 89 per cent.

The conversion rate refers to projects that have commenced commercial production or are at various stages of implementation (such as purchase of land, application for clearances or trial production) as a percentage of the total number of MoU projects, said the State Industries Department. It refuted reports that only 9.4 per cent of the investment proposals in the state were actually converted to projects in the past 10 years.

 

Thats a very good hit rate over last 10 years... :two_thumbs_up:

More evidence that state-level reforms can only go so far and national-level reforms are necessary. Garbage state governments, like the ones that Kerala seem to be perpetually cursed with will destroy anything when given enough leeway/space.

Incidentally, Muthoot, the founder of the pawn shop financial corporation, passed away this week.

Privatization drive of PSU assets. This is the road ahead. Govt need not run toll booths 

 

These assets include toll road bundles, ports, cruise terminals, telecom infrastructure, oil and gas pipelines, transmission towers, railway stations, sports stadia, mountain railways, operational metro sections, warehouses and commercial complexes. If entities being privatised hold real estate, this will be transferred to a land management agency for disposal to expedite the process.

This problem is mainly because of overpopulated northern states inability to control their population or provide job opportunities to their citizens. Why don't you go and rectify that?  Stop asking other states to tackle your problems.

Bud, go bitch at someone else. My state doesn't have an "overpopulation" problem and it is criticized in the 2nd article as one of the states who thought this kind of policy was a good idea.  I am criticizing all the states who pass these types of stupid laws. That you are an insecure about criticism leveled at your state/favourite party isn't my concern.  

 

I will call out what I think are stupid policies wherever and whenever I want.

blah blah blah.

 

The fact is N.I is indeed overpopulated and their residents go to other states looking for work. Rather than criticizing the symptom address the root of the problem. But I understand why you choose to overlook that.

 

State governments primary responsibility is to look after their state citizens first and locals employment is a major concern in these pandemic times. Deal with it, idiot.

The TNM article is about TN. Why are TN parties promising jobs for locals if they are not overpopulated according to you?

 

BTW, most construction workers in Karnataka/Bengaluru are from TN, also are drivers, domestic help and delivery boys.

A lot of these, as you put it aptly, galaxy brain ideas,  could be noises to woo the electorate before an election.

FWIW, the Haryana Private Sector reservation has been challenged  by a PIL and there are good arguements on why the said reservation isn't Constitutionally viable.

 

Ideally the state government should set up an SEZ and give tax breaks to those hiring over a certain percentage of locals. But that takes times to materialize and can't be bigged up in the next election.

 

Anyways, it's bad that state governments have to resort to this. Scary.
