The UPA govt should stop going after american norms.

Take example of household LPG gas cylinder found in our homes. Out of all cylinders that are being used in India, how many explode? In almost all of the cases, the mistake is made by 'operator'; and has got nothing to do with 'supplier' or 'manufacturer'. It's just that you weren't supposed to light up a match stick when you smelled the gas and you did!<br /><br />Ofcourse manufacturers give warranty for a certain period on the equipment that they sell, but never agree to any liability for using it dangerously.<br /><br />If that were the case, all cigarrette manufacturers would be bankrupt and closed shops by now.<br /><br />The bill should instead cover aspects like 'the supplier should be accountable for training people and evaluating and maintaining the equipment for safety for X years. Or something along those lines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13437119.post-54003236226108679212010-06-11T00:55:27.734+05:302010-06-11T00:55:27.734+05:30Sometimes (which is most of the times) I feel the ...Sometimes (which is most of the times) I feel the UPA is working for the USA.<br /><br />While Obama's doing his apparently level best to nail BP and still facing fall in ratings, skeletons are falling helter skelter out of Congress' cupboard on how their administration aided the 'Great Escape' of Warren Anderson.<br /><br />Sir, your article makes it clear that with the dilution of the Nuclear Liability Bill, the UPA is planning to plant a Union Carbide in each of our backyards. How I miss the days when the Left was part of the Government and leveraged its position to formulate people friendly policies.

The elitist attitude has had the poor living on the edges for a long time now.<br /> The Bhopal Gas Tragedy is the worst industrial disaster but still Anderson got a clean slate and an easy escape thanks to our worthy Supreme Court that forgets its role as a judicial body made for the people.<br />The Independence of Judiciary by the constitution has led to nothing but malfunction and of course the governments time and expertise goes in appeasing the US now days.Sidrah Fatma Ahmedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954067213785355863noreply@blogger.com
