Kannur Airport Foundation Stone to be Laid on December
The foundation stone for Kannur Airport would be laid on 17 of December 2010 and it would be the 4th International Airport in Kerala. The foundation stone would be laid in Mattanur and so far 1300 acres of land has been acquired. Once the work starts another 700 acres would be acquired and this would be one of the biggest airport in Kerala. The work for Kannur Airport is expected to be completed in 2 years and the expected cost is around Rs.1,000-crore.
On behalf of the newly proposed airport a company named Kannur International Airport Ltd (KIAL), has been registered. 26 percentage of the Airport share would be held by the State Government, 23 percent by state-owned public sector units, 49 percent would be held by the public, including non-resident Keralites and two percent by organizations in which the state government has minor stakes.
The nearest International Airport to this proposed airport is the Karipur International Airport at Kozhikode, which is around 80 kms away. Since majority of the people in northern Kerala works abroad, especially in the Gulf countries, this airport would be really of great help for them.

An helicopter taxi would be carrying pilgrims to the famous Hindu pilgrimage center Sabarimala and the first helicopter taxi is scheduled to make its first trip on November 24th. The helicopter carrying Sabarimala Pilgrims will take off from the Nedumbasserry airport and land in Nilakkal.
The first trip will comprise of three pilgrims from Andhra Pradesh and the helicopter service is provided by Bharathi Airways. The company Bharati Airways gets the helicopters from a Bangalore based firm named GMR Aviations. Bharati Airways claims that they are getting a large number of enquiries mainly from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka and 6 bookings have been done so far.
The helicopter would be six seater including the pilot and if the demand increases the seating capacity would be increased. The fare for the helicopter travel would be Rs 45,000 for a group of 5 and would take almost 30 minutes to travel from Nedumbassery to Nilakkal and the helicopter services would be there throughout the Mandala-Makaravilakku festival season.
So in the coming years, we can hope that the number of helicopter services goes up and that would be something new to those living near Sabarimala, as they can experience the hurling sound of helicopters going to and fro.

Sabarimala Pilgrimage Season 2010 Begins
The 70 days Sabarimala pilgrimage season started on Thursday, with thousands of believers flocking to the holy destination of Sabarimala in Kerala. Sabarimala is home to the famous Ayyappa Temple and is one of the major Hindu pilgrimage destination in South India. The temple is dedicated to Lord Ayyappa Temple and is located in the District of Pathanamthitta and under the Taluk of Ranni.
Sabarimala is surrounded by Jungles and the famous river Pamba originates from here. People from all over India visits this holy destination and those who visit this pilgrimage center needs to follow a 41 day penance (Vritham). When the penance starts they will wear a garland made of Rudraksha or Tulasi beads and stays away from non vegetarian foods, alcohol, sex, use of tobacco etc. Hair cuttings and shavings are also not done under this period and the devotees wear black, blue or saffron colored clothing.
There is also a forest route via Erumely where the devotees reach Sabarimala by foot and this is one of the most toughest things. They are prone to dangers such as attack from wild animals, bad roads, lack of amenities etc. But in order to make their pilgrimage a successful one, most of the devotees take this route. The others take the help of other routes which are suited for transportation.
Since Sabarimala comes under my Village's jurisdiction, there would be a steady increase in road traffic for the next 2 months and as a results more accidents would surface. Most of the vehicles comes from other states and they are not aware about the landscape and roads that lead to Sabarimala. Most of these roads are through the hills and their are many dangerous bends, hair pin curves etc which results in major accidents every year.

35% of the Birds in Kerala Facing Extinction Threat
A recent study has confirmed that about 35% of the birds present in Kerala are facing serious extinction threat. If no measures are taken to save these animals being wiped away, then there would be serious ecological issues. The extinction threat for the birds arises due to various factors such as pollution, climatic changes, deforestation etc.
The water level in Kerala is decreasing rapidly and as a result there is an increased scarcity for water. This has been one of the major reasons for many rare birds missing from the scenario and if this continues more precious bird species would be vanished in the coming years.
Pollution from vehicles, factories etc has been one of chief causes of this issue. The polluted atmosphere has made it difficult for these birds to survive and as a result a large number of them flee away to other states or dies away. The only way to prevent this is to control the pollution rate caused by vehicles and factories. It is high time that the Government of Kerala and other officials take appropriate steps towards this.
The global climatic changes are also another reason for the mass removal of these precious and rara bird species. The climatic changes have changed the overall ecology and as a result many bird species find it tough to survive and gradually they fade away. There are some bird sanctuaries in Kerala which provide facilities for the birds to live and survive, but they are not sufficient.
The deforestation is cutting of trees or cleaning of the forest for living and industrial purposes. In the major cities in Kerala, a lot of trees have been cut down to build huge commercial buildings and residential flats. This has deprived the birds of a secure place to live and as a result they are forced to migrate from the place. Some of them also die due to these ecological changes.
A lot of studies have been conducted across various wildlife and bird sanctuaries across Kerala, but I am not sure whether the Government of Kerala would be able to come up with any solution to prevent this. Otherwise in the near future Birds would be something like characters from a fairy tale. Hope that doesn't happen.

170 More Low Floor Buses for Cochin
170 more low floor buses has been granted for Cochin on behalf of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), which is aimed at implementing modern bus systems in various cities and states across the country. In Kerala, the Kerala State Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has been given the responsibility to take care of the low floor bus services.
As of now Cochin has got 41 low floor bus services and out of these 18 are AC Volvo buses which have higher fare than the non AC buses. The low floor buses are gaining more popularity and the number of users are on a rise. The AC low floor buses in Cochin are provided by Volvo, whereas the non AC low floor buses are provided by Ashok Leyland.
Of the newly allotted 170 Low floor buses in Cochin, 50 are AC low floor buses where as the remaining 120 would be non AC low floor buses. The Capital City Thiruvananthapuram would also be getting 120 low floor buses of which 30 are AC buses and the remaining 120 non AC buses. The low floor Buses in Kochi are enjoying a better profit rate when compared with the low floor buses in Thiruvananthapuram.
The low floor buses would also be covering more nearby sub urban cities situated around Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. In Thiruvananthapuram the cities which are proposed to be covered are Nedumangad, Neyyattinkara and Attingal, where as in Cochin the cities to be covered include Piravam, Kolencherry, Moovattupuzha, Cherthala (Cherthala is not in Kochi, but in Alleppey District) etc. They have recently started an AC bus service to Perumbavoor Via Aluva and is getting a pretty good response.

Unforgettable Journey to Chittar (Pathanamthitta)
Last weekend I spend at my home town and really enjoyed it as I got the opportunity to see some of my old friends along with visits to some places near my home town. One such places that I visited was a place called Chittar, which is around 25 km away from my home town Ranni, and the trip to Chittar really refreshed my mind.
I travelled to Chittar with my friend on his Bike and was able to enjoy the natural beauty to its best, as we stopped the bike at will to see the beauty of the nature. Chittar is a small village in Pathanamthitta District in Kerala and it falls under the Taluk administration of Ranni. Most of the people living in Chittar depends on Agriculture and the village is a typical hilly village. The stretches of hills and river makes it look more beautiful.
While traveling through the roads on my way to Chittar, I could also feel the presence of a non polluted atmosphere. The pollution free atmosphere throws out a cool breeze while we travel through the roads and this cool air cannot be experienced in a normal town which is vulnerable to pollution especially from the vehicles.
Unfortunately I didn't take my camera with me and as a result missed to take the snap of the beautiful things that I witnessed on my journey. Next time when I get a chance to visit Chittar, I am sure to capture some beautiful snaps. Rather than the beauty, it is the climate of Chittar that I liked the most. It is not cool like a hill station nor like a beach, but the temperature makes you feel to much relaxed. You would be able to breathe some pure air. The food that we had from a local hotel was also really delicious and it absolutely reminded me of the home made food items.

Minister Promises to Repair the Roads Before December 30th
Minister M Vijayakumar has promised to repair the roads across various districts in Kerala before 30th of December 2010. He also promised to fix the Sabarimala roads before 15th and he has stated that frequent rains have been a big barrier for the maintenance of the roads in Kerala. Right now the government of Kerala has started filling the poth holes in the major roads of Kerala and the minister says that he is directly involved in the maintenance of roads across the 14 districts of Kerala.
Before Onam a minister in Kerala had claimed that he would repair all the pothholes and other issues associated with the roads in Kerala and that too before Onam. But that man has not been able to even fill even a single pothhole and his promises seems to be vanished in the air. I would not be surprised if Minister M Vijayakumar's promise would dissolve somewhere and by December 31st he would not even remember about such a promise made by him.
If this has to come true, a huge amount of money has to fall into the pockets of some dirty people (mainly politicians) involved in the construction and maintenance of the roads. If at any stage they find that they would not get any financial gains with a road maintenance or any other public construction works, their enthusiasm would dip and the maintenance plans would vanish.
Even in such a big city like Cochin, the Government is really looking idle and the Cochin corporation authorities seems to be not at all interested in any developments inside the city for which they do not have any monetary gains. It is quite evident from the present state of the so called city called Cochin, where the infrastructure is too pathetic. The Cochin corporation office is another place where one does not wish to visit in his / her life time as we have to bribe heavily in order to get our things done from the side of corporation.
Anyways lets hope that Minister M Vijayakumar keeps his promise so that we can enjoy a good ride through the roads of Kerala.
