Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran is found agitated and took to Facebook to express his concern about the illegal mining that’s undergoing at Alapad, Kollam.
He wrote,
“I honestly don’t know how much an FB post will help. Frankly, the social media bandwagon that we all jump in whenever an issue finds traction is increasingly seeming like a meaningless exercise. But what bothers me most about the current scenario..is that there is a furore when belief is questioned and religion is the debate. At the same time, the fact that the sheer existence of a people and the place they call home is in danger..and for some reason, it’s still the poor cousin of the favourite prime time news. I’m going to end this post with the expected hash tag. But this nagging thought that a hash tag is all it’s going to be is a little depressing. I can only hope..that this voice of mine joins an ever growing chorus, and sooner rather than later, we make enough noise that action is no longer a choice for the concerned authorities.”
