RE: Speed up environment clearance of North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II

Suggestion:

Good Morning Mrs. Minister. I am writing to you with a request to speed up environment clearance of North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II to solve our state acute power outage. This is a critical moment in Tamilnadu and you are playing a critical role as an Environmental Minister. You are committed to making an environmental protection as a top priority. It is very important so that your portfolio should be recognized as the most important one in government. If I am not wrong, North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II does not involve forest land or dislocation of people water requirement for the project. I do not know why the centre is delaying environment clearance of North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II. But I know that there are certain specific conditions or general conditions have to be satisfactory for environment clearance. Recently, “The Hindu Chennai edition dated on November 24, 2012 reported that MoEF asking the state government to apply afresh for environmental clearance” I do not know why your good office asked Tamilnadu government to apply afresh for environmental clearance. If MoEF revised the guidelines for setting up thermal power projects, then, you can request Tamilnadu government to apply afresh for environmental clearance. At the same time, you must ensure to our Chief Minister, you will speed up the environment clearance of North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II within a month so that our Chief Minister will take necessary steps to apply for afresh environment clearance of North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II. Otherwise, we simply blame the centre. One thing I would like to highlight here, red tapisam is killing power industry Mrs. Minister. It is already huge delay in commissioning the North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II. Centre should have one window for environment clearance so that people will have confidence that any project are coming up for sure within stipulated time frame.

Mrs. Minister, you are representing the state of Tamilnadu in the Rajya Sabha, you knew that Tamilnadu towns and villages have 16 hours of power outage every day. You also knew that Tamilnadu total average power demand is around 10000 MW. Mr. V. Narayanasamy Union Minister of State for Prime Minister Office said that Kudankulam may be commissioned by December 15, 2012. Power from Kudankulam will not address the problem of acute power outage in Tamilnadu. You knew the complete picture of Tamilnadu power outage. I do not need to mention out here. Execuse me Mrs. Minister for saying this, “The Ministry of Power has set a goal – Mission 2012: Power for all.” But Tamilnadu is acute power outage in 2012. In addition, your good office is not speeding up the environment clearance for many power projects not only North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II. I am a big proponent of actions speaks louder than words.
Mrs. Minister, Tamilnadu is the second largest state economy in India in 2012. Tamilnadu has the highest number of enterprises. As a result, the country’s IIP has slipped to -0.4 percent in the month of September 2012. Indeed, this is not good news for Indian economy. I would like to remind you here, shortage of power supply in Tamilnadu being slow down their manufacturing. Also, power outage is one of main reason for low economic growth of India. I most humbly prayed your good office to speed up environment clearance of North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II to solve our state power crisis and convey a positive response to our Chief Minister as earliest as possible. I kindly request your good office to co-operate with our Chief Minister in commissioning the project as earliest as possible. Our Chief Minister tries to commissioning the North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II in the next three months. Last, but not least, our government’s top priority to solve the existing energy crisis of the individual state so that we can push forward to bolster our economy and strengthen India’s global position. Red tapism is killing our country’s economy. I hate to see my country or my state fall into that trap due to acute power outage.

Please accept, your Excellency, the assurances of our Chief Minister highest consideration of commissioning North Chennai Thermal Power Project Stage II.

Sincere Regards,

Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.

Chief Executive of the Hong Kong let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. “One Country Two Systems” structure compels Hong Kong to operate currently under different legal system than that of Mainland China.

YEMEN CIVIL WAR

To:     The Right Honourable French President Hon. Emmanuel Macron From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: December 22, 2018 RE:      Yemen Civil War Suggestion: Hon. President, let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. We have seen Yemen civil war countless times. If I am not wrong, there have been 8 wars or insurgencies killing up to 180,000 Yemenis since 1934. There have been additional 50,000 are believed to be died by starvation and 2250 are believed to be died by Cholera since Saudi Arabia intervened in 2015. The Saudi Arabia-led intervention in 2015 has been criminal and brainless decision which is based on an erroneous evaluation of the traits of the Yemen civil war. The Yemen civil war draws its reason from decades of marginalisation on the Arab tribe of the Huthis by an autocratic rules sponsored by the KSA. Yemenis struggle is being led for more justice and a fairer distribution of national wealth f...
