"Rs.1500 Crore Nuclear Insurance pool set up" This news might look as if the Government cares for the people living around the Nuclear reactors but that is not the actual case.The Insurance which has to be taken care by the Nuclear Supplier in case of a nuclear accident will now be taken care by the government itself.The whole setup is aimed at reducing the burden of the supplier which ultimately paves way for more Nuclear reactors in the country.This is what we claim as development.Already with all the time bombs ticking in the name of Reactors, this one step by the Govt. will make our country more prone to Nuclear accidents as the accountability of the supplier has become zero now. We are already familiar with incidents such as Uranium being carried in open trucks around Jaitapur and a painter who used Nuclear treated water for whitewashing the walls of the plant. That shows the seriousness and awareness we have on such issues.Not even one reactor has been properly decommissioned in India on completion of its scheduled life span(40 years). But we are hell bent on opening more reactors and making the lives of people unsecured. Even the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana schemes for the public benefit the ones who take accountability but not this one.It was not a big deal collecting the said money for this noble cause.General Insurance company and 11 other insurers which include British Nuclear Insurance Pool have come forward. This Insurance policy which costs our Govt dear could be totally avoided by proper planning of availing the resources by renewable energy. Just curious to know if there are any Insurance policy by the Govt. for Natural disasters? Nuclear disaster is nothing but a man made disaster which could be totally averted. This reminds me of Russia where every year the Govt. allocates money in its National budget for the relief and renovation of Chernobyl disaster which took place nearly 30 years ago. We could only wish that doesn't happen to us.
If you are someone who prefers to be away from the city for a while, but also wants to explore how the ancient cities used to be, you might find the ancient temples of medieval times interesting. Here is one such place where ancient architecture meets scientific mysteries. Lepakshi is a village in Andhra Pradesh, secluded from the hustle and bustle of the cities, but, well connected with them. First things first. What is Lepakshi: Legend has it that, this is the place where Jatayu fell after a failed mission to rescue Sita from Ravana’s clutches. Rama saw the mighty eagle lying on the ground miserably and said “Le Pakshi” which translates in English as “Rise, bird”. The main attractions in Lepakshi are the Veerabadraswamy temple and the world’s biggest monolithic Nandi which were all built during Vijayanagara empire times between 13 & 15 th century A.D.
