Kochi, February 22
Well if you are a Keralite or are frequently in touch with Kerala, or your relative or friends live in Kerala then you may have heard many a times the word Hartal (Strike) from them. This term has been a prime element of Kerala, and sooner or later has some how been in news at least once in every two months. With so much of such hartals Kerala is also gaining a new name, the land of hartals.
The situation has become so grim that the lives of the normal man have been put to unrest every time such strikes get going. The so called government which is said to be the law body elected by people, who are liable to help out and guide general public from all situations, themselves are the heroes who gives air to these hartals for one or the other reason. The story does not end here, even during these unofficial strikes public property are damaged and general public faces stiff challenge.
It seems the hartal saga will remain with this state always and this time it’s the small and big traders in Kerala who have planned to not to open their shops on Saturday 23rd February, to protest against the entry of retail giants. This protest has been called on by the Kerala Vyapari Vyvasayi Ekopana Samithi (KVVES) and the Kerala State Vyapari Vyvasayi Samithi (KSVVS). They are demanding the ruling government to pass a law to stop the entry of these retail giants in the state.
It is learnt that as per the present rule any of the retail giant can open up their retail trade here without any barriers. This will affect the state retail sector and will make them to bear huge loses. Even the price of commodities has jumped a lot due to the entry of such retail giants. In recent years the scenario of retail industry in the state has changed a lot hampering the business of the local retailers.
To voice against this growing problem the shops through out Kerala will remain closed on 23rd February. Where else can one witness the frequent spectacle of silent cities? Hope now you may know the answer.
Harsh Fact: Kerala has to bear a loss of 650 crores on a single hartal day.
Cochin, January 17
Milk shortage is making Kerala restless these days, well to meet the increase in demand for milk, the state is taking the help of neighbouring state Karnataka to meet the demand. The blessed state is running through tough times to get the required quantity of milk. The milk federation with brand Milma is bearing a loss of Rs. 3 per litre, and with the recent price hike in milk rates, the federation is helpless to increase the rates again.
It was learnt that the main factor for this shortage of milk supply is the less interest of people towards this sector. The way the profit percent is declining in this industry day by day, too has been the main reason for people not showing interest in this sector anymore.
With such a low profit margin and more infrastructural cost, milk trade has become a business of loss. This in-turn is making the milk federation to suffer with more deficits to bear along with shortage of supply. So if the situation continues to move in the same way, then the day is not far when keralites will have their tea without milk.
