Poor People of Kanditheemu

can anyone think of an island where they get no tv signal?
i can.
believe it or not, while our free times are occupied with famous tv programmes
and popular shows, there is one island where they do not get to watch any such thing!!!

for people of Sh. Kanditheemu, tv signal has now become a past thing.

almost all the people have accepted the dull truth and have accustomed

themselves to their 'no-more-tv-channels' routine.

but i find it hard to imagine and difficult to believe that one island has been deprived
of tv signal for this long.


they have been going through this ever since that dreary day when Dhiraagu antenna tower in that island was struck by lightning.

[here is the link which will relate to the incident]

who is going to be responsible for this?
well, easy to say and regard it as a natural cause of tragedy.
what the hell? is that natural cause going to come and bring that signal back again?
where are the KatheebS?
where is the Councilor?
where is the recently appinted MP with absolute majority?

oh yeah! they are delaying the signal deliberately
because they have no budget?

oh yeah! they are delaying the project because they got lot of works to do

oh yeah! they are avoiding it to avoid re-cabling.

worst of all, they could be avoiding it in the name of Islam, for cable tv has a bad influence over teenagers and it shows 18+ materials which are considered vulgar and 'ziney ah magu fahivaa kanthah thah!


ok, ok. lets end this note and blame the innocent people living in that island since no one else gives a damn.

Nobody should be deprived of such a useful educational and entertainment tool in this age. This is outrageous. Shows how neglected remote islands are.
