Managing this accidental risk in today’s environment is the concern of every industry including IEs, because either real or perceived incidents can quickly jeopardize the financial viability of a business. Many facilities involve various manufacturing processes that have the potential for accidents which may be catastrophic to the plant, work force and environment or public. A state of “Emergency” is defined as any event that disrupts normal operations or poses a serious threat to persons or property, requires a quick or immediate response and may require support beyond the abilities of the company. Generally good design, regular inspection and preventive maintenance of the equipment(s) reduce the probability of occurrence of emergencies. -

Impacts of Sustainable Cultural Tourism in Fort Kochi, Kerala
Vol. 3 No. 1 July 2015 ISSN: 2321 – 788X IMPACTS OF SUSTAINABLE CULTURAL TOURISM IN FORT KOCHI, KERALA Jose Bejoy (Ph.D Research Scholar in Tourism Management) Centre for Tourism & Hotel Management, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai-21 Dr. R. Kannan (Research Supervisor), Associate Professor and Director i/c Centre for Tourism & Hotel Management, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai-21 Abstract Before the death of Christ, Fort Kochi was covered by mangrove woods, turfs and sand banks. Sand banks were created with the rise in the sea level which formed the shape of the coastal area. Around 600 AD, written documents about the Malabar coast show that this region had Hindus, Christians, Muslims and a Jewish minority. The natural harbour of Kochi was created by a flood that also destroyed the harbour of the town Kodungalloor. Thereafter, Fort Kochi was developed into one of the most important harbours in the west coast of India. It concentrated on the spices trade with the China and the Middle East. Keywords: Fort Kochi, Kodungalloor, Malabar coast, Zamorin, Portugese, Alvares, Hyder Ali, Tippu Sultan Introduction Historical Background of Fort Kochi, Kerala During 1500 A.D. Calicut was ruled by king Zamorin and Kochi was ruled by the Maharajah of Cochin. This was the time when the first Portugese ships berthed at Malabar coast. Vasco Da Gamma landed in Calicut and Pedro Alvares Cabral landed in Kochi. The Maharaja of Kochi felt threatened by the Zamorin of Calicut. The Maharajah hoped that the Portugese would help him in his defense from the neighbouring King of Calicut. The Maharajah welcomed the Portugese and they founded their first trading centre in Kochi. -

Kochi Metro Which Is Being Formulated by DMRC Also Should Be Taken Up
CITY MOBILITY PLAN - KOCHI 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL Kochi, the largest agglomeration in the state of Kerala is the nerve centre of all commercial activities in Kerala. One of the major ports in the country Kochi is blessed with connection with other parts of the country through all modes of transport like road, rail, air and water. NH 17, NH 47, and NH 49 pass through Kochi. Kochi port is located on strategic International route. Broad gauge railway lines link up Kochi to all major cities of the country. Kochi has got one of the three international airports in the state. In addition to all these the regional road linkages are supplemented by an extensive network of navigation routes through the lagoon system, serving the movement of passenger and cargo. Insufficient carrying capacity of the intra-urban and sub urban routes, unhindered development of vast areas as urban extensions due to urbanization, unscientific planning in urban infrastructure development , absence of proper linkage of various forms of transportation etc. have resulted in an inadequate mobility system in the city and suburbs. As part of the comprehensive development of the city an efficient mobility plan has to be formulated. 1.2 STUDY AREA It was only in the beginning of the 19th century that Kochi , which was situated with in the narrow strip of land sandwiched between backwaters and sea outgrew to Ernakulam in the eastern side of the back waters. The narrow streets of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry were not sufficient to take up the travel demand even at that time.
