Polluted Politicians

To save the environment Govt.has established Pollution control board .If we want to start an industry a No objection certificate is a must from this board.Ok people are happy with the duties of the board.There are many Politicians and Business men who pollute the country with their greediness.why there is no control board to eradicate such people?Government enforces rules and regulation for common people but not for those Royal people. why such partiality?

River Tamiraparani is a perennial river in my native district Tirunelveli.It starts from the western ghats and flows throughout the district and finally it flows into Bay of Bengal in the EAST.There are many temples on both sides of the river .Saivite and Vaisnavite temples called NAVAKAILAYAM and NAVATHIRUPPATHI .Temple for Lord Siva is situated from the origin and destination of the river.During Mahashivaratri people worship all the Siva temples and during Vaikunda Ekadasi people go to Navathiruppathi. After a decade we are celebrating Tamiraparani Pushkaram from October 12th to 22nd and the whole district is geared up for this Divine event.
Now the Politicians are making unnecessary comment that the river will be polluted if Lakhs of people take bath and so they want to ban the Pushkaram.Isn't it a very silly reason?These people have no guts to fight with Factories which drain their wastages into the river and pollute it.They don't give voice for the people but ready to go against them.Now who is going to fight against these polluted Politicians?

Well said Madam ! Unfortunately, lately in Tamil Nadu Hinduism seems to be targeted by some forces as seen in many incidents. This one seems just one more such case. Whatever rivers/water bodies are there are highly polluted due the industry (TN being one the most industrialised states in India). Cooum river in Chennai is a sewer to say the least. This excuse of pilgrims polluting the river seems facetious. If at all arrangements must be made so that people bathing in large number follow some rules (such as not using bathing soap in the waters etc).

As an outsider to the state and having travelled there recently my observation is that water bodies are not maintained well in TN. Ponds and reservoirs were not desilted and the recent bonus of excess rain in Karnataka and Kerala was all allowed to go the Bay of Bengal.

Well written, @periamma. In our country everything -actions, inactions, reactions, activisms and restrictions are all ill-timed and politically motivated. Nobody has a priority list or an action plan. Politicians and the concerned officials just blabber something whenever jolted out of sleep and go back to snore in no time.

Dear periamma,
A timely snippet on not only Pushkaram but also on polluted politicians

Well put.

Based on the Planetary position of Jupiter, Guru Peyarchi, from one Rasi to another (zodiac sign)every 12 years we celebrate Pushkaram in a particular river and also take other holy dips like Maha Magam in Kumbakonam, Thula Snanam in River Cauvery, Mayavaram,but this year's Tamirabarani Pushkaram is very special as it is a Maha Pushkaram which happens only once in every 144 years. You are very blessed to be there in the place to have a chance to take a dip in the Holy River, periamma ! Would like to share here a web link that explains about this event (both in English and Thamizh) Thamirabarani Pushkaram

Me too followed the news about this. But looks like the Government officials, including HR & CE and District Administration, have cleared the air about the 'supposed ban' issue. They have blamed this news on an 'ill defined circular'. No ban on Maha Pushkaram but only HR & CE officials have directed Temple Authorities not to take the temple Idols on a procession for the Holy Dip as they say it is against 'Agama Rules'. I am not sure if it is true or false. Only those well versed in Shaiva Agamam and Vainava Principles can explain. I would like to share a web link to the news regarding this clarification published in The Indian Express. HR&CE clears air on Maha Pushkaram

It is believed that Vishnu Bagwan's last Avatar of Kalki will happen in the banks of River Tamirabarani ! We can wait for Him to fight against all forms of atrocities that happen in Bhulokha or we can do something meaningful on our own - to start with- voting for the right person during election times. Many a drop make an Ocean. We can not bring about much change as a single person, but when we all join together and strengthen our core values, good things are bound to happen. That is what I, like you and many others wish and hope for. Hope is such a sweet thing

Regards,
Pavithra

@PavithraS Dear Pavithra happy to see your elaborated reply with given links.Regarding taking idols to the holy dip is not against Aagama rules because every year Sri Nellaiappar and Kanthimathi Amman are taken for theerthavari on Thaipoosam.Then they are kept in a mandap called as Thaipoosa mandapam .River Thamraparani is worshipped amman and HER statue is in Nellaiappar temple .If possible i will add it to media.

Kurukkuthurai Murugan temple is another venue and the govt has banned the holy dip there.If a sudden flood comes there is no safety for the people to escape.silly reason given by them.If the Dam shutters are opened there is a possibility of flood in the river.PWD dept.is in charge of the dam .How will they open the shutters when Puskaram is going on?This show the officials negligence in duty.
I didn't go through the links given by you.After reading fully give my opinion.Thanks ma

@vrikshakadali Thank you for your response you are absolutely right that reservoirs rivers ponds and lakes are not desilted regularly. Every year huge quantity of water flows into the sea. Now people give pressure to the govt to clean up the water bodies. Village people have more awareness now
