Globally wetlands as well as fauna and flora diversity are affected due to increase in anthropogenic activities. The present investigation deals with the fish bio-diversity of selected major wetlands Periyakulam famously called Ukkadam Lake, Singanallur Lake and Sulur Lake of Coimbatore district fed by Noyyal River. Due to improper management of these lentic wetlands water bodies around Coimbatore district by using certain manures, insecticides in agricultural practices in and around these selected areas has polluted the land and these fresh waters creating hazards for major vertebrate fishes which are rich source of food and nutrition, an important and delicious food of man. The results of the present investigation reveals the occurrence of 19 fish species belonging to 5 order, 8 families 18 species recorded from the Ukkadam wetland followed by Singanallur wetland with 5 different orders 7 different families and 14 species.

We have enhanced the Minimum Support Price and did take a decision to provide an amount of Rs.6000/- to each and every farmer under Kisan Maan Dhan Yojana irrespective of the parcel of land under his possession and have brought it into force.

Further, growing incomes and expectations have lead to people shifting to cars, motorcycles, and taxis. In the last decade, bus ridership in metropolitan cities dropped by 20% on average. COVID-19 crippled public transport. But cars and motorcycles continue to grow, unabated. Streets are choked with traffic; the air we breathe is toxic. -

CONSTRUCTION & INFRASTRUCTURE January 5, 2016 Bridging the chasm …long road ahead Given the government thrust on the infrastructure investment, we witnessed that over the last two years project awarding picked up from the urban infrastructure segments like Roads, Buildings, and Metro projects. We believe that capex on urban infrastructure projects will continue given the strong bid pipeline from road and metro projects. The issues with respect to land acquisition and weak balance sheets of infrastructure companies got addressed as the government increased capex spending on EPC mode rather BOT/PPP projects which, helped companies raise funds; as well as funding from multilateral agencies also increased Given the importance of government spending in driving the order books of our coverage universe as well as the increasing importance of the states in becoming enablers of growth, we have analyzed certain states which form 50% of India’s GDP. Our analysis reveals that the states are easing bottlenecks with respect to land acquisition and other clearances and infrastructure capex rather than industrial capex remains the core focus Nitin Arora Research Analyst [email protected] +91 22 66242491 Kushan Parikh Research Associate [email protected] +91 22 66121431 INDUSTRY REPORT Construction & Infrastructure India Equity Research | Sector Report Contents Bridging the chasm …long road ahead ................................................................................................................................................... -
