Electricity bill has not been sent to the consumers. That’s perplexing. Should not meter readers be assigned the task for which they have been appointed? Consumers, who pay electricity bill regularly want meter reading be done regularly. It is true dismal power supply has egged on meter readers to neglect their duty. But if the bills are not sent regularly there is apprehension in the minds of the consumers that a time will when they will not be able to clear the bills. Consumers, who make proper economic planning at home have found the new turn of incident as a blow to their well being. These days meter readers have stopped going to the house of consumers. Consumers have also ridiculed the employees for doing meter reading without giving regular power supply. Consumers, who have received pre paid connection, receiving 24 hours electricity are enviable. When will this facility cover the entire Imphal area? Until that happens those, who cannot enter prestigious group will have to remain contended with four or six hours power supply. No matter whether the consumers are given a few hours power supply or not meter reading must not stop for at the end the losers will be those, who use electricity. Consumers cannot be expected to remember electricity bill without seeing the billing paper. Where had gone all those meter readers. Like the Government teachers getting pay, perks and perquisites without taking class they too have wanted pay without doing anything. This is not a good trend. Pull up the recalcitrant engineers, who are in charge of electricity complaint room. Staffs in charge of transformer, lines men and meter readers will be on their toe when the supervising engineers work sincerely. In many Leikais too many consumers whose bill amount for power consumption having reached five figures lament if only the meter readers came regularly they would have cleared the bill in time and subsequent power line snapping would not have happened at all. Neither they can clear the bill now nor does the authority make serious attempt to provide connection to such defaulters. But many of these defaulters have resorted to power thieving. These consumers would extend lines in the night and roll it in the morning. There are some foolish consumers who argue that the consumer registration was done in the name of his late father or mother’s name so it is not binding to clear the bill owed by late parents. But in reality he continues to enjoy the facility long after the parents had died. This will be known when meter reading is done regularly. The same rule of sending bills to the power consumers should be adhered to by the PHED also. In every Leikai there are more than one hundred house hold members. Every house has a small pipe entering up to kitchen but the number of legal consumers does not reach even two figures. These illegal consumers without paying anything to the Government have ridiculed the Government for failure to provide drinking water. Do illegal consumers have the right to speak about non availability of drinking water? The matter should receive the attention of the highest authority and take steps to understand what is ailing our society?

Water is an essential ingredient for the existence of life beginning from the most basic process of photosynthesis in plants. Photosynthesis is the most basic and significant chemical reaction on earth, providing the primary nutrients, directly or indirectly, for all living organisms and is the primary source of atmospheric oxygen. Without water and its unique and unusual properties, life as we know it on earth would not exist. However, due to various factors, water has been polluted making it unfit for consumption. In light of this, the World Water Day assumes special significance. The day has been observed on March 22 since 1993 when the United Nations General Assembly declared March 22 as World Day for Water. In addition to the UN member states, a number of NGOs promoting clean water and sustainable aquatic habitats have used World Day for Water as a time to focus public attention on the critical water issues of our era.

In a new draft National Water Policy, the water resources ministry had suggested that access to safe drinking water and sanitation be regarded as a right. But one-third of the Indians do not have access to clean drinking water and more than half of the country`s population to clean sanitation. To achieve the goal, the Ministry has proposed a national water framework, which will help each state to come up with essential legislation on water governance. The state legislations will have to provide necessary authority to the lower tiers of the government to deal with the local water situation. It also states that the local government institutions will ensure access to a minimum quantity of potable water that will be available within the reach of each household.

But only 42.2% people in Jharkhand and 38% in Manipur have access to clean drinking water whereas in Punjab, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand; people have nearly 90% access. With water crisis becoming to be one of the major issues in Manipur, it is high time that we try to follow what has been done in other parts of the globe. Deforestation in the catchment areas of major rivers, absence of supply pipelines or old pipeline leakage, improper drainage system, lack of maintenance and pollution of water bodies and the drastic changes in the annual rainfall pattern due to global warming and climate change are the main reasons for shortage of water in the state. Instead of only waiting for action from government, there is a need for people to work towards effective means to solve the water crisis. For instance, during the raining season, rain water can be conserved and roof-top water harvesting technology adopted by the public. Rainwater harvesting is the best and most viable option to solve water crisis in the state given the nature of the monsoons in this part of the country. Rainwater harvesting is merely the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for reuse. The water thus collected can be used for the watering plants, for raising livestock, irrigation, etc. Rainwater harvesting provides an independent water supply during regional water restrictions and in developed countries is often used to supplement the main supply. It is also means to provide water when there is a drought or a lean rain patch in the summer season.

Some ways to conserve water at home are to take shorter duration showers or by turning off the shower after soaping up and then turning it back on to rinse. A simple act like turning off the water during brushing or shaving can contribute towards saving water. Other practical measures to conserve water in our daily routine is by simply checking water faucets, tapes and pipes for leaks, and not using the toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket to flush down cigarette butts, facial tissue or other trash. Apart from observing the World Water Day, joining hands and using all the possible means to preserve water, and spreading awareness on how to tackle water issues would be the most meaningful lesson that we can all inculcate in our daily lives so that when the next observation comes by, we will not have to be at a want for water.
