(3)Each development leaves a group of homeless families. Here development programs have no end. We have Kannur Airport, Aranmula Airport, Greenfield Roads, National Highway, State Highways, Bullet Trains to come in the name of development. Naval Academy wants 500 more acres. The above mentioned projects will have another one lakh homeless families. The truth is that no rehabilitation is possible for these evictees. Contd….(4)

(2)Any development activities take place only in this limited centre portion. The history of development tells the story of people being evicted from their houses without any resettlement or rehabilitation. Starting in 1984 with the eviction of 2500 acres for Naval Academy where neither resettlement nor rehabilitation were made we can end with Valarpadam Container Terminal eviction of 383 families in 2006. Here also forcible eviction took place with no resettlement or rehabilitation till date.

The entire population of 3 crores is accommodated in the limited centre portion. Here we find on an average about 5 nuclear families located in around 1 acre of land. All small beautiful villas.

As a student I would like to share my grief experience of missing my interview letters due to negligence and delay of postal dept.Interview letters,admission letters are always sent by ordinary post to us and many times we miss it or never receive.Govt. should work on these ground level problem first.Instead of sending non-confidential open letter by post,a scanned copy should be sent to destination post office and should be delivered to the people on the same days.

In the Hostels of medical colleges for girls the state of cleanliness is pathetic. The state government is doing nothing for everything money is being demanded from the students. On one hand there are many free things for the privileged The only sufferers are middle class who are already burdened with taxes. Can the Prime Minister intervene and do justice.

Final continuation from previous post: Canada Post has also set up a free online billing service called ePost, which allows customers to pay bills online and manage financial documents through the postal service's website. Deutsche Post has been innovative in other areas such as E-Postbrief, which allows customers to sent e-mails that are delivered as physical mail.

continuation of my previous 3) Australia Post has been a pioneer in finding innovative ways to raise revenue and maintain services in remote regions. These include allowing privately owned post offices in small towns that operate like franchises, with owners purchasing a license to provide official postal services. These retail outlets also sell other items, including souvenirs, books, office supplies, and coffee and tea -- making them more like general stores that provide postal services than
