Ooty: The Nilgiri Documentation Centre (NDC), an NGO in the Nilgiris, wants political parties contesting elections in the district to put forth an exclusive agenda for the next five years for the hills and demanded that the parties announce a comprehensive water plan for the Nilgiris.
Stating sffasdfsdfasdfasdfthis, Mr D.Venugopal, honorary director of NDC, said since 1957, the Nilgiris has been a separate constituency for parliamentary elections. However, no party has put forth a Nilgiris agenda, except for an occasional mention about some local issue. The Nilgiris was taken for granted as a happy district with no need for parliamentary attention or intervention. The Nilgiris should not lose the forthcoming watershed elections also by default, he said.
The regional, national and global significance of the Nilgiris as a major eco-system is well-established. The economic significance of the district as a major provider of tea, hydel power and tourism also cannot be disputed. Any party contesting the Nilgiri constituency must put forth an exclusive Nilgiris agenda for the next five years, he demanded.
