TO ALL CIRITIQUES OF SOURCES OF POWER

Sir, pardon my way of thinking. No dearth of persons opposing hydro projects or neuclear sources of power.
Fossil resources are dwindling throughout world. America and other intelligent nations are not touching their gas resources but are willing to spend much higher price on petrolium products from arabian countries, wage war just for the sake of resources. We, in INDIA are falling in their trap.No dearth of sold or otherwise persons who are opposing any form of addition in power capacity.BECAUSE they are not affected, shedding of 12 hours of electricity has no meaning to them.
SIR,
We have moved away from animal power. Do we want to go to our original state or we want to move ahead and be counted in the reasonably advanced nations.

KK GHEI SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT EDRWASJF

We are not against the Nuclear Reactors for Power. Infact now only these sources are available for countries like India. But the point of Contradiction is that it should not be installed in the areas PRONE TO EARTHQUAKE. The said area has got over 92 Earthquakes in the last 20 years. Just think the fate of Japan. Today also a massive Earthquake has hit Myanmar & who is next ?????

One of the biggest nuclear reactors planned in Jaitapur, Maharashtra is in an earthquake prone zone !

Are you in Delhi on Friday, March 25^th? If you are, then you should join me and several others marching to the Parliament to protest against India’s nuclear ambitions. I will also deliver the petition against the nuclear power plant in Jaitapur, signed by thousands like you to the Prime Minister’s Office.

Register for the march to Parliament here

While the rest of the world is seriously reviewing its nuclear power plants post Japan, the Indian government is only downplaying the risks of a nuclear accident in the country. One of the biggest nuclear reactors planned in Jaitapur, Maharashtra is in an earthquake prone zone [1] and will use untested technology. [2] Can you imagine a Japan-like situation and the way it would be handled here?

On March 25th people from all walks of life are marching to the Parliament, to tell the government that the people of this country do not support dangerous technology. Join this march to tell the government that it can’t put our lives at risk. More people will make a bigger impact.

Register here: http://www.greenpeace.org/india/en/What-We-Do/Nuclear-Unsafe/join-the-march-to-the-parliament/

Here are the details about the march:

Date: 25th March, 2011 Friday
Time: 12.00 noon
Venue: Assemble at the Sahitya Academy Lawns, Mandi House and then march towards Jantar Mantar.

See you at the march.

Thanks a billion!

The forwarded message from Ms Karuna Raina of Greenpeace India is self-explanatory.  I urge you all to oppose setting up of one of the biggest nuclear reactors at Jaitpur (Maharashtra), which will be located in the earthquake prone area, and try to avoid a Japan- like tragedy in our country.   Please sign the petitition as directed in the message below; and if you are available join the march to Parliament tomorrow (25th March).

LIZ IS DEAD

Do you remember a movie where ELIZBETH TAYLOR PLAYED Queen cleopatra?
But i do..because i went to egypt to see cleo tomb.
I went of all the known places to ALEXENDRIA where there is neither the tomb of ALEXENDER THE GREAT or cleeo.
Soome say during hour of defeat she allowed a cobra to bite her breast
aand her lover killed himself.
BUT i just cannot forget acting of LIZ.
SHE IMMORTALISED HER SELF IN THIS MOVIE.
So forget my third large ppeg of blender's pride and i know fully well that this is a blog for serious matters.
BUT
Laazzim hai dimaag se kaam lenaa
kabhee kabhee dil se bhee kuch kehna chaahiyie

EARTH HOUR to be Observed at Priyadarshini Vihar

Dear Sir,

 

Priyadarshini Vihar RWA has commtted to join the movement to protect our environment and the Planet  by observing EARTH HOUR on March 26, 2011.  We have requested all our residents to switch off their lights for one hour -  8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, and come out in parks where the RWA will organize interesting events, such as, Antakshri, songs, jokes and may be dancing around a bonfire.

 

Hindustan Times has partnered with WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) and JustMy Neighbour

and will give away suitable prizes to winning residents.  RWAs will also be awarded for best-organized events during the Earth Hour.

Nice to read MCD would remove old cars BUT..

The saying is that the best government is that which governs the least. Could any body explain this please.
As far as MCD or DELHI GOVERNMENT IS CONCERNED, they believe in no governance at all.
EXAMPLE ...several posts on our rwa blog. These posts do not dent the zeal of officers to ignore existing laws or procedures.
In hearing on 14th march 2011 in the chairman of PGC, MCD and DDA admitted they do not have original layout cum setback plan of MADHUVAN and PREET VIHAR.
These plans were required to fix the boundaries of MADHUVAN AND PREET VIHAR to locate the vanished 15 ft public road behind houses 68 to 77 on east side. The sublease photo copies mention clearly existence of above road on east side of above houses.
Inteterstingly, not only lay out plan of MADHUVAN but individual houses building plans were saanctioned and completion certificates issued by DDA.
Joint inspection team recorded that all above mentioned houses rear or back doors open in UNIVERSAL PUBLIC SCHOOL SIDE. in PREET VIHAR.
Several examples like existence of ILLEGAL TAXI STANDS WHICH SEND ONLY PRIVATE CARS AS TAXIS, thus defrauding legitimate tax to government can be cited.
But then who cares if existing shops in even CC MARKETS OF MADHUVAN AND PREET VIHAR ARE SUBDIVIDED, or heavy vehic;es like buses and trucks are allowed to be parked just opposite to POLICE STATION OF PREET VIHAR.
It is no use adding laws which look attractive on paper but not implemented.

KK GHEI Senior Vice President EDRWASJF

TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE AFFECTIONATELY FLOODED US WITH HOLI GREETINGS

With such good wishes life is bound to be comfortable,happy,prosperous and enjoyable. Only point we have to remember is that while we are all well placed in life there are lakhs of people in East Delhi who do not enjoy minimum comforts by way of roti,kapda,makhan. If each one of us  decide to do something solid in this matter,God will be immensely satisfied and Bless us more and more.

 

Amen, Dadhastu
