The day long conference started with the welcome address by Mr. L Krishnan, Chairman CII Karnataka State Council. The irony of rapid urbanization according to him was that we expect different results with identical actions. The vehicles to people ratio has increased rapidly which is holding the environment to ransom. Some disturbing news does make us sit up and think.
- Hyderabad has no ground water
- Solid waste segregation at source is not happening
- Entry level employees dream of owning apartment
- Serious Power shortage
In short the economic boom creates its own challenges.
