Sir, This Is Regarding The Frequent Power Cuts Experienced In

Sir, This is regarding the frequent power cuts experienced in New Gayatri Nagar, Karmanghat, Hyderabad 500079. There is a 2 hr power cut scheduled but unfortunately it turns out to be more than that . Infact, we are struggling with almost 6 hrs power cut at times for some insane reasons .. eg., wind, rain . I understand these things do cause minor interruptions but constant power cuts are very annoying . The response from the relevant substations is not at all meaningful as well . Please understand that we are not living in any remote village in some corner of the country . So, it would be of great help if someone can take this up and find an effective solution. Regards, Suresh

The power cut in Ghaziabad is causing a lot of problem. A normal cut in a day is minimum 10-12 hours and since last day the electricity was available only 4 hours in the past 24 hrs. When we go to the electricity office the people talks very badly and there is no person of the officer rank available. These people do not respond at all. Also they said that there is shortage of electricity from the back and thats why this is a problem but they themselves are siting under fans and tublelights and watching TV nearby. If there is a shortage then why dont these electricity department people switch on unnecessary light and fans and TV??? A person comes to home after his hectic schedule in office and if he cannot have his dinner or a sleep under light. Due to unavailability of electricity there is also a shortage of water. We pay are bills on time and have right to have electricity power. Why doesn't these is a power cut for these officers and electricity deppt and that also in such a hot weather??? There are common wealth games coming in near future. Is this kind of facility are the govt planning to give to the people coming from outside NCR?? Ist really a shame to live in Ghaziabad. Industries has already started moving out of ghaziabad in the last few years. Do the govt want that residential people also move out from ghaziabad?? Is there anybody to listen a normal public???

How rising prices affect you April 14, 2008

The annual rate of inflation in India which was below 4 per cent in the first week of January soared to a staggering 7.41 per cent by the last week of march and is expected to move up even further. With prices of essential commodities almost doubling in less than 3 months, the household budget has gone for a toss. Now with the Reserve Bank of India hinting at a rise in interest rates, the common man is in for tougher times ahead. Rising prices have forced India's United Progressive Alliance government to take urgent measures -- like banning export of non-basmati rice, pulses, edible oil and cement -- to rein in runaway inflation. High inflation rate has taken a political colour in the country with the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party and Left allies accusing the government of its failure to address the aam aadmi's woes. According to India Inc, however, the highest point in inflation is yet to hit India. A new survey says that nearly two-thirds of the executives in India expect prices to flare up in the next six months. The report -- Economic and Hiring Outlook, First Quarter 2008: A McKinsey Global Survey -- states that as many as 64 per cent of Indian executives expect the rate of inflation to rise in the next six month, while only 20 per cent expect a decline in the rate of price rise. Among the products primarily responsible for the current inflation are food products of different kinds, including cereals, intermediates like metals and the universal intermediate, oil.
