New load schedule programme heralds death of working habit

Human needs increases day by day and the dependence on power is overwhelmingly high. Power failure for half an hour in a developed country is international news. Decades ago electricity staff started repairing power lines without cutting out power supply. It is dangerous as slight mistake can lead to death of those repairing the power lines. The new load shedding programme as implemented at Uripok areas is awful. Similar load shedding programme is not done in some places . There is power supply for one and half hour from 8 to 9.30 am. Then there will be power supply from 6 to 10 pm every alternate day. It will not be an uninterrupted supply. There will be shut down for minimum of half an hour. On the intervening day the power supply will be from 10 to 12 midnight. So every family will be getting 3 and half hour power supply and five hour power supply every alternate day. The worst part is there will be no supply during working hours that is from 9.30 am to 6 pm. All offices, private entrepreneurs, workshops, shops will be operating without power supply. So many youths who have taken up small time business like computer centre, internet café, PCO, Photostat centre, repairing centre have been compelled to shut down. The measures taken up by the power department is not acceptable. Tariff is hiked without notice time and again. Amazingly recently tariff was hiked with retrospective effect with a threat to cut off power supply if the tax was not immediately cleared. Who is really in charge of this department ? If the transformer breaks down consumers have to repair it at their own cost. Proper administration, governance, guidance are lacking in this department. When some concerned citizens filed a PIL some actions were seen from the part of the department, which died down with each passing day. The crux of the problem lies in providing uninterrupted power supply to the higher up. They are not aware of the problem. The former Governor Dr SS Sidhu questioned the reason of providing power to higher up officials when people do not get it. All should get it, collect tax and punish the defaulters. Surprisingly major defaulters are the government offices. Some families enjoy VIP power line, we do not know how they get it and what is the criteria of providing such lines to some areas and families. Make people busy, work only then the production will increase. For that power is required, get it from somewhere and sell it to the people properly. It is your job, do it or make way for the honest and diligent officials to rise.

Guwahati, Jan 9 NNN : Assam forest and environment minister Rockybul Hussain on Monday announced that the Royal Bengal tiger population in Assam has increased to 143 in 2011. The last tiger census in wildlife protected areas was completed in December last.
“We used camera trapping method in tiger census in the state. The method is internationally recognized. In Kaziranga National Park KNP), we have 118 Royal Bengal tigers. It has the highest density of royal Bengal tiger in the country”, said Hussain.
In the KNP, there were two incidents of Royal Bengal tigers coming out to the fringe and killed villagers separate incidents in November last year.
“According to the experts, tigers come out from its habitat for two reasons.
When its population increases, the new generation pushed out the older ones and the other reason has been due to the shortage of food. There is no shortage of food for tiger in Kaziranga. This indicates increase of Royal Bengal tigers in Kaziranga”, said Hussain.
The state forest minister said that population of Royal Bengal tiger in Rajiv Gandhi Orang National Park has also been increased in the last six years. Apart from Kaziranga and Orang National Park, the Nameri National Park and Manas National Park in the state also has witnessed the increase in the population Royal Bengal tigers.
