As Anjar continues to be ravaged by thunder showers and strong winds and as buildings fall and life and property is destroyed, one can only wonder, how long will it take before peace prevails? And almost immediately our thoughts turn to the condition of the inhabitants of Gujarat, who in a short period of time have lost so much.

Interestingly, plastics offer a housing solution - Plastics Houses.

	These house are durable and tough,
	Can withstand earthquakes (upto seismic zone 5),
	Are resistant to fire, tornadoes, hurricanes and cyclones (upto 160 kmph).
	In addition, each house is guaranteed for 25 years - the guarantee covers the structure and all components (walls, roofs, doors, windows and trims).
	Are resistant to fire, tornadoes, hurricanes and cyclones (upto 160 kmph).
	A plastic house is also much more cost-effective than a bricks and mortar house. The construction cost is substantially lower and a plastic house is completely maintenance free, since it is free of warpage, cracks and plastering, is rust, leakage and termite proof and requires no painting. Thus the savings in maintenance cost vis-à-vis a conventional house itself pays for the cost of construction.

Recently, Reliance, came forward and handed over two houses to the Govt. of Gujarat. It takes just nine days to put up one complete house - a house that has a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and toilet. All its components - walls, windows, doors, roof, flooring are made of PVC. The walls, made of hollow profiles made from PVC, are filled with concrete.
