Palampur - Recent Issues

Recent Issues

Palampur has seen exponential growth since the liberalization in India. It has grown from a decrepit and quite British hill station to a buzzing town. You can start counting the revenue generated from this town, since around nineteen banks are present here, e.g. IDBI, BOI, PNB, SBI, etc. There has been a widespread growth in and around Palampur. It threatens the fragile ecology of the town. Recently, the deodar trees in Palampur are drying up with abnormally fast speed. Palampur is the only hill station in India where deodar trees grow within heights of 3000 feet to 4000 feet from Mean Sea Level.

Famous quotes containing the word issues:

    The “universal moments” of child rearing are in fact nothing less than a confrontation with the most basic problems of living in society: a facing through one’s children of all the conflicts inherent in human relationships, a clarification of issues that were unresolved in one’s own growing up. The experience of child rearing not only can strengthen one as an individual but also presents the opportunity to shape human relationships of the future.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
