Petrol prie rise in India

Every citizen of this country is experiencing the pinch of the increase in petrol price. Petrol is being used as a tool to fleece the public by the oil companies. Actually the crude price has fallen drastically and now it is remaining the lowest level. There is no reason to raise the price except to fleece the consumer. Time and again it's reported that the oil companies are incurring loss. Let it be a loss in petrol. But it is making bumper profits in other petroleum products . See the last balance sheet of any oil company. There is thousands of crores of profit shown every year. All the reports saying the oil companies are incurring loss is utter false statement.Ccorporates are making such false propaganda to prepare the ground for increasing the price and loot the public. This is being supported by the Govt. the central ministers confirm the false statement of oil companies in the press and further add up that the companies are not under their control. They further state that the prices are fixed by the companies based on market conditions. There is no one to save the consumer from these hawks. Poor lower middle class , small business people , auto drivers, small farmers do not have any defense against these swindlers and have to accept such things with a whisper . Further the oil companies create a demand for their product by not arranging the supply in time. What is being experienced throughout the state for the past three / four days is artificial . By putting the consumer at maximum hardship they make them accept the dictats. The Govts, both centre and state remain silent spectators to this scenario . here the central govt gets the wrath of the public whereas the state just by remaining silent gets it share of increased revenue thro increased sale tax collection . What a wonderful situation in this county? No one is prepared to talk about it excepting to make a lip service. Werevgo????

Jwelary shops

Go to any leading gold jwellary shop . While purchase you will be charged for the whole weight of the article u buy including the stones , plastics, etc. used in the ornaments. It means they charge u the vale of gold for all non gold portion of the ornament! They will say it trade practice. In the same shop when u go for returning the same gold ornament u purchased from them, they will do all the calculation and value it for exact gold content excluding all those particles other than gold contained therein!! It is said to be the trade practice. Do not the trader have their own conscience to do justice. They have made a cartel of jewelers and dictate this unfair practice on the people.
So long the buyer is not bothered why they be bothered of all these practices. They go building more and more shops every year. Who is going to ask them?WEREVGO?

Mullaiperiyar

Pouring petrol in burning fire. The statements of former supreme court judge V.R.Krishna Iyer and Former acting Justice of Madras High Court K.Narayana Kurup have displayed their affinity to their mother land by issuing highly inflammatory statements on the issue . It will further drive the wedge between the States which is running in high emotions. Being the members of high profile judicial fraternity they should not have expressed such statements. They are not qualified at all to say that dam is weak, when so many technical reports have confirmed the safety of the dam number of times. They have also stated that the lease may be repudiated by Kerala. Instead of properly advising Kerala Gove to follow the verdict of various court these filthy elements have tried to nurtue their regional affinity by issuing such irresponsible statements, using the words 'alarming condition of he dam','kearala should harden it's stand','repudiate the treaty','the dam has develed cracks','posing three to35 lac people','if dam has breached....' etc., . Is this expected of these people. WEREVGO?

Using plastic bags

Everyone of us is aware of the dangers to our environment by using plastic carry bags in our daily use. We see with our very eyes how it is polluting our surroundings.so many bans are imposed by govts in various parts of the country, but not being implemented seriously by anyone. Consciously everyone seems to be more comfortable in using these products than to discard them willfully, though it is confirmed that sufficient damage is done to nature .it is to be remembered that something is to be done by by stringent legislation at the state level to see that straight away these products are not used anymore compulsorily. For example TN during the last tenure of the present CM imposed mandatory conditions to install rain water harvesting compulsory for building approval by the authorities concerned and it yielded very good results in improving the water table all over the state. In the same lines the state should indiscriminately take steps to stop production of those platic products that damage environments and implement it with iron hand. Then only our people get accustomed using the alternates. Once practiced for a year it will get accustomed. There are so many experts in our country who can offer a real substitute immediately viable commercially. It will be the only right gesture to our next generation.

Why so many banks

Banking is an essential service. The principles /policies of these bank must be unanimous , common to all the banks. the guidelines prescribed by the Govt/regulator is also common. Then why so many bank in different banners to extend the same type of services under same prescribed guidelines. Each bank competing each other overriding one another in extending services nothing more than the other competitor. How much money is being wasted in maintaining different brand name. Say for example only ATM is capable of handling the operations of ten ATMs set up by ten different banks under the banner of each bank in the same locality. So also number of branches clustered in same locality by different banks. What the cost of different administrative set up of different banks?
Instead why not merge all the nationalized banks into one Banking Corporation of India to operate all over the country. Is LIC of India is not working successfully.
Further each bank is having separate unions for officers and clerical staff. In the name of union a big chunk of employees both in clerical and officers are not doing any banking operations and treading like parasites on each bank. This can be reduced by the merger.
Moreover by dispensing entire cash operations all over the country and insisting of routing through bank accounts the time and energy being spent on cash management in banks can be reduced and it can be used in strengthening the economy.
Maintaining single banking corporation will save heavily on the advertisement now being issued by each different bank. So also good amount saving can be ensured in common stationary.
Though this proposal is being opposed by the unions it necessary to make them realise by educating them properly for a time bound implementation .

Exams for recruitment in Public Sector Banks

I find the following in bank recruitment exams.
1. Immediate probe required into the recriutment process. It is big question mark whether the candidates selected in the exams are AT RANDOM or by their performance because very many of the selected candidate are of very poor quality. Is there anything fishy like TNPSC?
2. Public sector banks are make very huge profits . Further the profits are multiplying yearafter year. Then why such high fees is levied for the exams. Say for example more than a million have appeared for the clerical test. Fees is Rs.400 for general category and 250 for reserved category. How many millions are being pocketed from the candidates who are already unemployed. Can't it be shared by the public sector banks.
3. Since it is a money spinning exercise banks now found a loophole and go on their own recruitment for special category officers/clerks. Now again the poor unemployed has to spare separately for each bank exam in addition to PSBRB . Is it justified? One can imagine the magnitude of the money flowing . For a vacancy of 25 specialist officers in a PSB more than a lac candidates have applied . It is for one PSB. How many PSBs are there . How much money is being swindled?
