TREMORS
Reforms
and Some Sectors
|
|
 |
Communications:
Has seen radical changes. STD call rates continue to fall and connections
were never easier to get. A wired India is finally a reality now.
|
|
Environment:
Euro II emission norms for cars, closure of polluting units
in the capital and restrictions on the use of polybags-environment
as an issue is here to stay.
|
 |
Power:
SEBs promise to reform-rational rates, ample supply, etc-but as
the recent power failure in north India showed, the ground reality
remains dark.
|
 |
Law:
Cases continue to pile up even as no serious effort is made to clear
the backlog. With reforms nowhere in sight, the wait for countless
litigants will be a long one.
