यहां नशे की गिरफ्त में हैं महिलाएं और बच्‍चे :


राजस्थान के ग्रामीण अंचल में इन दिनों शराब का काफी प्रचलन बढ़ने लगा है। कई घर उजाड़ चुके तथा बड़े कांड करवाने वाला यह नशा अब महिला व बच्चों पर भी अपना रंग चढ़ाता नजर आ रहा है। आने वाली युवा पीढ़ी जो देश का भविष्य है का आकर्षण इसकी और बढ़ रहा है, वही सबसे ज्यादा इसका शिकार हो रही है। सरकारी आबकारी नीति के चलते गांव-गांव ढाणी-ढाणी में खुली शराब की दुकानों ने इसकी खरीद खरीद आसान करने के साथ युवा वर्ग को इस और आकर्षित कर लिया है। शराब की दुकानों पर खरीद के लिए कम उम्र के बच्चे भी बेझिझक पहुंच रहे है। वहीं शराब पीने के मामले में महिलाएं भी पीछे नहीं रही है।
शराबमहिलाओं द्वारा भी बड़ी संख्या में शराब का सेवन किया जा रहा है, इसमें ज्यादातर संख्या मजदूर वर्ग के तहत आने वाली महिलाओं की है, जो दिन भर खून पसीना बहाकर अपनी मेहनत के पैसे से शराब का सेवन कर अपने परिवार को आर्थिक रूप से पीछे धकेल रही है और साथ ही अपने बच्चों में गलत संस्कारों का समावेश भी कर रही है। एक दिन ग्रामीण क्षेत्र के प्रवास के दौरान बारां जिले के मांगरोल उपखंड में स्थित बमोरीकलां तिराहे पर स्थित अंग्रेजी शराब की दुकान पर देखने को मिला, जब दो महिलाएं शराब की दुकान पर बेखौफ खड़ी शराब लेती नजर आईं। सरकार को चाहिए की शराब की दुकानों को पांबद किया जाये कि कम उम्र के बच्चों को शराब नहीं बेची जाए तथा शराब की लत से दूर रखने के लिए महिलाओं को प्रेरित करने का प्रचार अभियान शुरू किया जाए।

Power Tariff Hike ...... Is it Justified? ........ A Public Debate ......... the way forward.


Dear Friends,
 
The power tariff protest is becoming more of a political stand point between social and political groups. Far from a Reasoned Debate, it is turning out to be a political akhara ...... the loser will be the cause and aam aadmi.
 
You may have noticed that in a recent meeting with CM, RWAs were told that the issue of Power Tariff has been settled with the request of a CAG Audit. The CM thinks that the fight now is Political because URJA is BJPs B Team and other voices are from areas represented by adversaries from within the Congress Party.
 
This my friends is an unfair evaluation of the situation and unfortunately people close to the CM have not been able to inform her of the actual ground situation. We as a cohesive group that went before DERC collectively never discussed the matter with our area MP, MLA or Councillor ...... we got together and worked for a cause and shared our resources. All through the DERC Public Hearings there were other individuals and RWAs from specific areas and not representing any group as such.
 
We as a group managed to put up informed well reasoned and researched objections/ suggestions ..... media also widely published reports of daily hearings ...... till the DISCOMS woke up and hired their Spin Doctors to divert the swelling tide. We fully understand how PR companies divert a tide ....... just introduce another set of tides ....... remember Aruna Roy .... during Anna time ....... this is an age old strategy and their are many takers / pretenders willing to ride the tide. It's sad, if only there were this many people during Public Hearings , the picture would have been different.
 
Sorry if I hurt somebodies sentiment ...... after all who are we to sit in judgment and no one claims our group did the best and cannot be improved. Well thus far the History .......
 
What is the way forward ....... we have all agreed that we are Apolitical but not averse to political parties / entities support. We also do not wish to form an umbrella group that can be hijacked. With this background we cannot also allow shortcomings of other groups to harm the cause, because of above stated reasons.
 
I have spoken to all over the phone except a few, if before finishing this mail I get to speak to them fine otherwise they will understand after reading this mail.
 
The strategy .....
 
Organise a Public Debate ........ Titled ...... Power Tariff Hike ...... Is it Justified?
 
An informed debate is the need of the hour ....... we are willing to pay fair value for the power we consume ..... but who determines Fair Value ...... and how is it to be determined ....... that's the debate ...... Open to all RWAs, Social Groups , DISCOMS, Govt. Reps., Independent Experts even Politicians of all hues are welcome. We must drop our affiliations and unite for a cause that will eventually impact every citizen of Delhi.
 
I on behalf of our group wish to state, that we are willing to present all that we placed before DERC on the four Grounds ie. Logical, Technical, Legal and Criminal in any open Debate. This debate can be conducted at any central place ...... like Constitution Club or IHC or IIC or some hall like the one in Scope Complex.
 
We have been approached by Mr. Vijay Goel, representing Lok Abhiyaan (NGO) involved in many social activities and has expressed his desire to associate with us as NGO to espouse this cause. He is willing to organise one such moderated debate with us on one side placing the Public Cause and DISCOMS on the other for an informed debate and other Public Awareness Programmes supporting the cause. It has been explained to Mr. Vijay Goel that our association is Apolitical in true Anna style where anyone in their individual capacity is welcome to support the cause.
 
This is to place the facts on Record.
 
Warm Regards,
 
Rajiv Kakria

Invitation to “URJA Ravivar”
A Day-long protest at the Jantar Mantar
to protest the illegality of the power tariff fixation process: 25th Sept 2011


Dear Friends

You may be aware of the recent order of the DERC providing for a 22% hike in power tariffs for this fiscal. This hike was given effect under seriously compromised conditions, and in the shadow of an earlier order of the DERC which suggested 20% reduction in tariff, which was then truncated by the intervention of the Delhi Government, in an attempt which was found to be grossly illegal in Court.

Naturally, there is more to it than meets the eye, as we have all been suspecting for long.

We placed before the court our doubts of the veracity of the accounts on the basis of which the DERC bases its tariff order. When the Court asked if the DERC has any third party audit mechanism to confirm the accounts of the DISCOMS, the Commission answered in the negative.

The court has since taken cognizance of our plea and issued notices to the Government, the DERC and DISCOMS on our petition for a CAG audit of their accounts.

Now, the Government has started murmuring that an audit might not be out of place.

In which case, we have said, it stands to reason that the hike should be deferred or held in abeyance until the audit is complete.

And that is where the Government is dragging its feet. And that is what we don’t accept.

To make our objections known, and to register our continued opposition to this hike, Delhi’s apex RWA body, the

United RWAs Joint Action [URJA]
has organised a day-long protest at the
Jantar Mantar in New Delhi
on Sunday
the 25th September

We have also invited elected representatives of all political parties to join us to express their solidarity on the issue.

We would like to have you join us with your support groups to lend support to this campaign.

Please walk in anytime staring 10 a.m. on Sunday.
Do bring supporters, friends and family and anyone else who pays an electricity bill.
