Government guidelines say that, emergency exit should be made in case of tunnels longer than 1.5 km. Even though the tunnel is being constructed by the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation, which is a government organisation, the government recommended safety guideline is not implemented. These details are disclosed by a member of the panel of experts investigating into the disaster has said under anonimity. It may be recollected that, the 10 Central Trade Unions of our country have already accused of violation of safety norms for the Uttarkashi tunnel disaster.

Oxfam International has stated that 40% of India’s wealth is in the hands of 1% Indians. Under these circumstances, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced that India will become a 5 trillion dollar economy in the next five years. Nalini Singh, journalist, has written an article, which is published in The Hindu today. Its heading is “A $5 trillion economy, but for whom?”. Nalini Singh has asked who will be benefited if India becomes a 5 trillion dollar economy – whether the rich in India or the poor? Recently, Prime Narendra Modi has also announced that 5kg of free food-grains per month would be given to the beneficiaries of the National Food Security Act. This means, still 80 crore Indians have to be given free food-grains to avoid their hunger. Nalini Singh says that, per capita income is the index of a population’s well being. She points out that, India’s per capita income is only $2,400 and it ranks 149 among 194 countries in 2022. She also points out that, Japan’s per capita income is $34,000 and China’s per capita income is $13,000. The author also says that, India may become $5 trillion economy. But, most of the population will continue to remain poor. Nalini Singh’s article is enclosed and comrades are requested to read it.
