Today, 1st January 2016, is the 57th Anniversary of the declaration of Socialist Republic of Cuba. Though a small country and facing economic blockade almost since its independence, Cuba has defended itself from the overt and covert attacks from the imperialist nations headed by USA and improved the lot of its people. It has got the best health system in the whole world. It is high in literacy. The US and other countries have been compelled to gradually restore the diplomatic relations with Cuba. The blockade also will be removed.
Revolutionary Greetings to the people of Cuba on their National Day!

The odd/even car policy in Delhi seems to be working. While moving in the city today, I could see that most of the cars running are mostly of odd numbers only. It is reported that the pollution has come down also to a small extend.
The Delhi people has supported the scheme. That itself is a great thing.

Bharat Aluminium Company was one of the first central PSUs to be privatised. It was handed over to the Vedanta Group in 2,000 as part of the privatisation policy of the government, despite strong protest and strike by the employees. Now Government is having 49% share, but the entire management is only with the Vedanta Group.
Within 15 years, BALCO, which was the pride of the nation has gone down and is in loss. Already thousands of workers have been retrenched. There are still about 1,000 workers, whos future is in peril. The management states that the company is in loss due to non-demand of aluminium products and reduction in international prices.
All the unions in the BALCO has now approached the Prime Minister to help the company so that the workers do not lose their jobs. A detailed petition has been submitted signed by BMS, INTUC, CITU, AITUC and HMS.
Privatisation is not the panacea for all the ills that the PSUs are facing.
