An angry tide
Apropos of the report Hungry Tide may swallow Sunderbans by 2100 (February 3), the government must set up an independent environmental regulator with branches in all states. It should grant clearance to business houses, provide knowhow and penalise violators. The government should be split to provide an independent ministry for the environment to deal with broad policy-making and leave day-to-day work to the regulator. India must go in for a radical environment policy.

It is a matter of shame that Karnataka has taken the Cauvery river dispute to the streets. If Karnataka was interested in street justice, why did it waste 17 years of the already overburdened judicial system’s time? All the states should reach an agreement and work for the development of the country rather than just their respective states.
