A-There is lot of scope in fisheries sector, as we are not exploiting even 10% of total potential available in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The reason of non-exploiting is lack of Infrastructure. Once Infrastructure shall be developed other allied things like processing and marketing of Fish will be automatically developed.Exploiting of natural resources will help in social and economic growth of people of Andaman & Nicobar Islands in totality.It would create huge number of job for local people.We are running a Fish Processing Unit on a low key due to non-availability of raw fish in exportable quantity.As and when catch facility will be modernized and landing harbours will be constructed,the need of more such processing unit will be required.

FORUM

God,neighbours and democracy

I watched a veteran Indian Journalist Saeed Naqvi say on TV that India cannot remain unconcerned with the events unfolding in Pakistan.Saeed was commenting upon the Nawaz Sharif-return drama.

I thank God the merciful that Gandhiji failed to prevent India's partition in 1947 .In retrospect we have great reasons to rejoice it Mahatma's failure.Had those people been part of India,democracy would never have flourished here.India would have been in a permanent seize under indecent rivalries ,brutal intrigues and violent pursuit of power.Look at the ease with which a national Government can tell a lie-that Sharif volunteered to go to Zeddah instead of being prisoned in Pakistan !.Watching all these ,one can not help feeling that our neighbours have not yet progressed past the middle ages .The MEA mandarins ought to be worrying forever,what kind of neighbourhood ,God the merciful has put them into.

Wish of Musharraf fulfilled

Mr Narayanan should pay more attention

I have great regard for Mr Naraynana. But there have been shocking failures in the National security domain. The 123 agreement is being nationally questioned . The common man does not feel safe. Mr Naraynan should give more attention to these aspects

Seniorcitizen

A suggestion for CSS officers

Considering the fact that CSS officers are recruited from Civil Services examination and they handle Union list subjects, some of which also overlap with the State subjects such as Health, Rural/urban development, education,etc., it will be appropriate for the officers and the Govt. if all CSS officers at the time of their promotion to the Grade of Deputy Secretary are inducted into IAS with 9 years of seniority in IAS. This will be advantageous to the Govt as officers with exposure in rule administration and policy implementation will become available to the States and officers will also have adequate exposure to State civil Services.
Those CSS officers who do not opt for such induction into IAS should not be promoted further and should retire as Deputy Secretaries only.Since promotion quota in IAS is already fixed, it will not affect the promotion chances of IAS within their cadres. Infact, even IFS(B) was also integrated into IFS(A) on similar lines. This integration will be win win for the Govt. and the CSS officers who have been clamouring for a fair role in senior staffing posts at the Centre as they cannot aspire to move upwards elsewhere, unlike central deputationists.

Spirit Of Laluji (with apologies)

Laloo Prasad Yadav died. Rabri Devi (his wife) was very worried whether Laloo would be able to make it to heaven, so she decided to try & contact his spirit by having a séance. (Black magic used to contact the dead). After the usual mumbo-jumbo of calling to the spirits, Laloo's voice was heard answering, "Helloooooooo Rabri, this is meeee..."
"Oh dear Lalooji," she answered. "I just need to know if you're happy there in your after-life. What's it like there?"
"Ooooooh, it's much more beautiful here than I ever imagined," Laloo answered. "The sky is bluer, the air is cleaner, and the pastures are much more lush and green than I ever expected .... And, above all, there is no scam! And the only thing we do, all day long is eat and sleep, eat and sleep, over and over."
"Thank God, you reached heaven," his Rabri cried, wiping some tears.
"Heaven?" he answered. "What heaven? I'm reborn..... I'm a buffalo in
Switzerland. "

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Commies say the Panel gives them an opportunity to correct what they think is wrong!!!
UPA has made it abundantly clear on any change it will not go along!!!

Itfs more so that Commies can save face as they donft have the guts to pull the plug!!
So they are just going to hold pointless discussions and eat and glug!!!

UPA can go blue in the face explaining but Commies will not agree!!!!
As anti Communism this Deal they see!!!

They are least bothered if the Deal is pro India c its anti Communist and thatfs what matters!!
Itfs because of their anti American stand that they are tearing this Deal to tatters!!

Though NDTV and IBN pre poll surveys prod Congress to go in for a midterm election,
Congress is finding it difficult to make this selection!!

If Congress looses Roy and Sardesai will just give an excuse!!!
ePolls have an error factorf ploy theyfll use!!!

Even in Himachal, Punjab and Haryana Congress will loose out!!!
Donft know win for UPA kaise Sardesai of IBN karr raha hai tout???

Seems Yadav and Sardesai threw darts to decide in which State which Party will win!!!
Though Yadav takes himself to be an electoral ejinnf!!!

Both the Channels forget that Political Parties know which way the wind is blowing!!
After all they are standing in the ewaterf and know which way the current is flowing!!

The DGP in DGP Virk has another meaningc. DG in Prison!!!
Though at present in a Hospital room kiya hai VB ne imprison!!

Despite being posted in Maharshtra he was acting as the election advisor for Amrinder!!
Who is now crying foul that Virk ko kiya VB ne andhar!!!

Amrinder says that because of Virkfs arrest Police will be demoralized!!
Whereas top Cops of Punjab opine that it was time the Political Cops like Virk were emoralizedf!!!

Amrinderfs appointed DGP and Media Advisor have both been accused of impropriety,
Both are known to have amassed in last five years crores of property!!

Vaghela needs to be taken to task!!!
Why did he make that efarmers in Vidarbha are lazyf statement Sonia should ask???

And Deshmukh who dittoed Vaghelafs sentiments needs to be hauled up too!!!
Donft know how he agreed with Vaghela and with what mooh???
Height of insensitivity cc hope someday both have suicide staring them in the face!!!
Because of their insensitivity punishment both should face!!

Itfs well known that only a pittance of relief reached the affected!!!
Only 8 paisa of every Rupee Rajiv Gandhi had projected!!

Manmohan Singh makes huge announcements but on the ground level story is not the same!!
And for the pilferage itfs the political establishment that people blame!!!

All I can say is that with Deshmukh as CM,
Congress will go to the Farmers in Maharashtra for votes with what much (face)!!

Now Amma is Amar Singhfs new punching bag!!!
At Ammafs behest hefs going to come up with gag after gag!!

Ammafs made UNPA look like a joke!!!
And now sabh UNPA pe le rahe hai poke pe poke!!

If Big B even passes gas itfs reported on IBN!!!
Is Bachchanfs Network is the deciphering of IBN!!

Or Sardesai is a huge Big B fan and so IBN behaves like Big Bfs PR Agency and mouthpiece!!
Everyday on IBN on Big B on IBN there has to be a piece!!
