some more ruminations

1)This news item in Dinamalarin June 2021 shows that Local bodies,Govt departments r not paying EB tariffs for many years.

If Govt itself is the delinquent, this is a serious loss of credibility and governance.

Long-term remedy has to b thought of.

Further funding reqtuirements of these local bodies to b linked to payment of pending EB bills.

Beyond a point should withhold even Salaries to the Top Govt secretaries ,like in private sector ,for non-payment of EBdues,Property tax or any other govt levies.

For unpaid Motor accident compensation ,courts many times initiate distraint proceedings against Govt transport corporations.Something similar to b done for these unpaid dues.

Or fast track privatization of EB distribution.

2)w.r.t media why not ask those who have PEP(Politically exposed Person/s) in their Boards, their relatives, those affiliated to parties &controlling their labour union,donating ,providing ads revenue more than 10% of income etc.to show in small letters" affiliated to such& such party" ticker in Channels,publications etc like showing warning tickers for cigarattte smoking and liquor drinking.

3)Similarly for those News or those public political,social discussion on TVchannels which have funding from minorities or those run with minority reps or receive their funding,donations,ads beyond a threshold say 10% of their revenues must show a ticker mentioning "channel run/ affiliated to minorities".This shd be made compulsory.
