The first acquaintance. The industrial centre

you are: the First acquaintance

Delhi became the considerable industrial centre of India and one of its largest transport knots. The number of the enterprises in a city for years of independence has increased more than four times. Delhi factories of thin, exact mechanical engineering make such difficult kinds of production, as tape recorders, transformers, the various electrogoods. On a capital share 40 percent of radio receivers made in the country are necessary. In the industrial and economic relation to Delhi territories of states surrounding it gravitate. Together with them here there is an important industrial region.

But as changes which have occurred in Delhi for ten years were obvious, it was necessary to see, that else much needs to be made to overcome a heritage of the heavy past. Building about which there was a speech, basically goes in areas of the New city. Old Delhi with a labyrinth of the narrow overpopulated streets changes is mentioned less. Here you see the unattractive person of poverty is more often. Here difficulties of a city - a lack of water, the electric power, dwellings, unemployment are especially sharply felt. These and many other things of a problem still wait for the decision.

The next six years of my work as the correspondent of the newspaper ' the Truth ' I saw, how the face of the great ancient country as horosheet it and looks younger is quickly changed.
