Kejriwal Restores Power Illegally,Where are You Heading


Arvind Kejriwal seems to be obsessed with playing to the gallery.

Kejriwal’s actions in exhorting people not to pay their electricity bills, and to reconnect disconnected meters is the expression of a frustrated man not knowing what to do.

It is normal to disturbed , as you and me are, at the rampant Corruption and mismanagement of the Country by elected thugs, good to be morally indignant , but it is down right criminal and irresponsible to resort to taking law into one’s own hands.

If Kejriwal can resort to these strong-arm tactics, when not in power, one shudders to think that he can ,heaven’s forbid, if he and his band of anarchists come to power!

The example of DMK during Anti -Hindi agitation and the Anti Brahmin movement in Tamil Nadu comes to my mind.

There were mistakes in Governance,though not so much in decisions, but in communicating them to people and Social injustice wrought upon a group of people, by , again a few, that made people go in  for a ‘quick fix’

The people of Tamil Nadu handed over power to a set of  hardened criminals, flotsam and jetsam that Tamil Nadu is yet to recover and worse, they do not know how and when!?

Kejriwal is heading this way.

Beware.

Kejriwal restoring Power, illegally!

“Two days after Arvind Kejriwal launched his attack against the city government by restoring power supply in some houses, BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd filed a police complaint against a man, whose connection was restored on Sunday by the activist-turned-politician.

During protests across Delhi as part of his ‘bijli-paani satyagraha’, Kejriwal had visited the house of a labourer on Sunday at Tigri Colony in south Delhi and reconnected the power line cut off by the discom.

BRPL on Tuesday filed the case against the labourer with Neb Sarai police station in south Delhi.

In the complaint against Banna Ram, the discom has invoked Section 138 of the Indian Electricity Act, which states that it is illegal to interfere and fiddle with the electricity network. The discom said unauthorised power connection is a punishable offence that may attract imprisonment up to three years. Ram got a power bill of Rs 15,000 last month, and since he was unable to pay it, the discom cut off electricity to this house.”

Power Problem in Tamil Nadu.Agitation no solution.


Power Outage

There has been strikes, Bandhs galore in Tamil Nadu on the issue of power supply in the State.

There has been a power shortage for some time now and the power cut for an hour in Chennai and 8 hours in other cities.

This has resulted in reduced industrial output forcing many industries especially in Tiruppur where major Hosiery Units are located.

Exports are affected and lay off’ threatens workers.

The Government is trying its best to supply power;but the demand exceeding available supply, further allotment from the Central pool not coming through and the agitation against commissioning of the Nuclear Power Plant in Kudankulam the Government is in a bind.

There has been a suggestion that instead of enforcing power cut in fits and starts ,to declare two Days,Saturday and Sunday, with out Power.

I am not sure if this is possible.

To my understanding, power can not be saved and distributed.

Can some body enlighten me on this?

Under the circumstances it is ridiculous to go on agitating and enforcing bandhs as none of this can solve this problem.

Conserving power and increasing power production is the solution.

-optimum utilization of the existing power stations.

-get more from the Central Pool.

-commission more projects’

-Prevent Power Loss and Theft.

-Conserve power by judicious use .

Why should people do some thing

Madurai Demonstration against power cut.

stupid?

“78 lakh families hurt by power cut”; “Government departments, local bodies owe huge dues to TANGEDCO”

Around 4,000 industrialists, entrepreneurs and workers from micro, small and medium enterprises staged a protest near the TANGEDCO (Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation) office at Kappalur on the Madurai-Tirumangalam highway on Tuesday, demanding that uninterrupted power supply must be ensured and the spate of unscheduled power cuts must be put to an end.

Spearheaded by Kappalur Industrial Estate Manufacturers’ Association, whose members downed their unit shutters for the day, several major trade and bodies from Madurai and the southern districts took part in the agitation. Besides raising slogans that the operations at small units were severely affected by the power cuts, the agitators questioned the rationale behind uninterrupted power supply being provided to multinational corporations and giving special treatment to Chennai which faced only an hour of load shedding every day while the rest of the State reeled from eight to ten hours of power cuts.


http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Madurai/article2895754.ece

“The city and its suburbs are likely to witness a power cut of three hours everyday. A proposal in this regard was submitted by the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) to the State government authorities late on Monday. According to sources, a two-hour power cut in Chennai will be imposed between 8 am and 6 pm. Another hour of power cut will be imposed between 10 pm and 6 am bringing the total duration of power cuts to three hours from the present one hour in the State capital.  ”
