| The unsold sugarcanes | |
| 17th January 2013 The unsold sugarcanes Traders from nearby villages of Sivakasi and roadside vendors in the town brought loads of sugarcane to the key junctions of Sivakasi right from 10th January 2013 all the way till and eve of Pongal Festival. At Pongal time, one piece of sugarcane sold for Rs.30-35 and Rs.350 for one bundle with 15 sugarcanes. The price of sugarcane was soaring and it was out of reach for the common man in Sivakasi town. As a result the sale of sugarcane in Sivakasi, fell down badly. Sugarcane traders near Sivakasi Sivan Kovil said sivakasiweekly.com that, usually around 90-95 per cent of the surgarcane is sold till Pongal day, but this year we only managed to sell 40 percent. This is because of gradual decline in the purchase of sugarcane in households and today-s youngsters show no interest in consuming sugarcane. We will wait for two more days and try to sell as much possible and we are ready to sell at a throwaway rate of Rs.5 per sugarcane and Rs.50 for one bundle, but no one shows interest in buying the canes, he added. This year-s Pongal, sugarcane price soars both for consumers and traders. | |

Mr.A.M.S.G.Ashokan, Arasan Group of Industries, in his speech said that, the permanent solution for this power outage is to build a power plant for Sivakasi. The power plant project will be launched soon, in Sivakasi. Initial amount of Rs.1000 will be collected from every house, for the project. Tariff will be around Rs.3/- per unit, he added. His speech has come as a welcome relief for the Sivakasians. At evening, Industrial unit owners and trade union leaders met the Sivakasi EB officials and asked for scheduled power cut.

And there will be no power supply from 12:00 p.m. to 06:00 p.m., after that there will be one-hour power cuts almost every other hour.

Due to big fluctuations in petrol price, thousands of people in Sivakasi brought e-bike. They are not always what they claim. The pick up is too low and riding it in road is risky. On one charge most of the e-bike owners are able to achieve 10-15kms only. Batteries and motors are the life and soul of e-bikes. Have to change battery once in six months and motor in 2 years and that too very costlier. But life of an e-bike is just one year only and it wont work any more. Most of the e-bike showrooms in Sivakasi were disappeared. Those who brought these e-bikes placed it in the corner of their houses and some use it as slipper and shoe stands. Even new e-bike branded companies promises longer life for battery and motor, Sivakasians are keen to prefer in buying petrol mopeds and bikes. Try before you buy and dont buy blind. E-bikes are e-wastes. E-bike needs miles to go to make its customer smile. | |
