Telengana partition notified me ....

I am very much aware of the Telangana separation form the Andhra, but i never spent time to think about the plus and minus about the separation. Abhishekh's blog enlightened me about some very good reasons to have this separation done. Really small state can be much prosperous, specially when this smaller population has different life style in many terms. Jharkhand from Bihar and Utarakhand from Uttar Pradesh are very good example of this. 

My only concert are the places which will be marked near to boundary, the places which share the culture of the both side of the new boundary. These are the places affected in the partition. I can't say the exact situation when Himachal was made out of Punjab. There are lot of differences in the two cultures, and separation made them all set to develop independently in their own way. But how about the southernmost district of Himachal. District Sirmour where people enjoy the mixed culture of Himachal and Punjab. Although there are huge number of points where this district can also add to the development of Himachal but I feel Sirmour is ignored by the HP government, and it hurts when it gets counted in the last 100 backward districts of India. I remember people get very upset when things planned for district Sirmour don't get fund from government, and it hurts when same planned thing get implemented in some other district.

2 years back when i was at home, there was a common talk that a big steel plant is coming up in district, which will provide huge employment to the people. later in next holidays when i got down at bus stand i saw some people sitting on "dharna" to stop the shifting of that steel plant from Sirmour to Kangra district. At this time i saw the feeling of being neglected in the people of sirmour. go to search engine and search for "fossil park asia". you will get it in sirmour but i feel ashamed that there is no proper road for this park and no proper fund to manage the park, please do take something to eat and drink while visiting, you may not find something to purchase and do see the extraordinary museum there. Renukaji lake, situated amidst lush green forests of Indian Himalayas, the surroundings of the Lake offers an excellent venue to tourists for the adventure sports, but again it is not funded as other tourist places in Himachal.


recently i found that some things are planned to attract tourist in sirmour but who knows that get shifted like Steel plant :)
