Encourage production of battery-operated vehicles
Chennai: The Government should encourage entrepreneurs of small and medium units to manufacture battery-operated vehicles, Pattali Makkal Katchi founder S. Ramadoss said here on Monday.
Dr. Ramadoss told journalists that such a move would be of great support to the economy and industry. To promote competition, the Government, as an initial measure, should give permission to 10 persons or firms. He wanted the Government to allot a "bicycle path" on important roads.
Criticising the police for "inaction" on the sale of ganja in the vicinity of some Chennai schools, Dr. Ramadoss asked, "What for have the special units for narcotic drugs been set up? The police cannot be forgiven for its failure to curb the menace."
Reiterating his contention that the Official Languages Act had not yet been implemented in full, he said a recent Government order on the appointment of an officer on special duty for the proposed Chennai metro rail project was issued in English.
Responding to a query on raids conducted by Income Tax Department on the premises of the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam founder Vijayakant, the PMK leader said he did not want to go into the issue though he would term the action belated. But, his emphasis was that such raids should be conducted on the premises of those who ran self-financing colleges and deemed universities.
