AI surveillance cameras were installed all over the state for two hundred and thirty crore rupees, to stop the police's atrocities in the name of checking vehicles on the roads. But now vehicle owners are facing two types of threats. In addition to fines for traffic violations detected by cameras, they also have to pay the fines imposed by the police on the road.

The police stations have been instructed to collect at least 30 crore rupees as fine every month. Policemen are running around with camera mobile phones to complete the target. Vehicle owners are worried about when and where they will be caught. The current technique is to squeeze the vehicle owners by any means as there is a threat of further action if the target is not met.

Surveillance cameras are installed with the good intention of reducing road accidents. However, despite the arrival of cameras, the police's figures show that there has been no shortage of accidents. There is also an allegation that the government has submitted figures that mislead the legislature and the court.

This should be seen as part of the government's efforts to raise revenue in various ways to boost its depleted coffers. Such anti-people measures are a threat to any democratic government. Instead of causing more hardships to people, the government must find new sources of income.

It is a fact that the government has a serious financial crisis. It is not right that people have to pay duty for everything to overcome the crisis. If the taxes envisaged in the budget are collected correctly, the financial situation will improve. Financial security can be achieved by starting new industries and securing maximum investments. The industrial sector can be boosted by providing all kinds of incentives to entrepreneurs and convincing them that there are many opportunities for safe investment here.

Instead, if they try to harm those who come up with new ventures in every way, they will look elsewhere. A businessman recently shifted his largest factory complex to Telangana, fed up with the machinations and malfeasance of the ruling party. Kerala has lost an investment of eighteen thousand crores through this. Half a lakh people will get employment when the manufacturing units in Telangana become fully operational.

How will the country progress if it starts running away from the industrialists by playing the union and showing the ego of being in the government? The state already has to pay high fees for all kinds of services. Along with this, the garbage fine of the local bodies will come soon. It has been heard that waste collection and processing is the responsibility of local bodies. It is because they do not do it properly that the whole state is accumulating garbage.
