बिजली कंपनियों के खर्चों का होगा हिसाब

नई दिल्ली।। दिल्ली की बिजली कंपनियों ने पिछले 5 साल में खर्च का जो हिसाब दिया है वह कितना सही है, इसकी जांच दिल्ली इलैक्ट्रिसिटी रेगुलेटरी अथॉरिटी (डीईआरसी) करेगा। इसके लिए डीईआरसी कंसल्टेंसी सर्विस हायर कर रहा है। आरडब्ल्यूए का कहना है कि कंसलटेंट के काम को पब्लिक स्क्रूटनी के लिए ओपन रखना चाहिए, ताकि कोई कंसलटेंट को प्रभावित करने की कोशिश न कर सके। 

डीईआरसी ने कंसल्टेंसी सर्विस के लिए टेंडर आमंत्रित किए हैं। टेंडर देने की आखिरी तारीख 7 फरवरी है। कंसलटेंट बिजली कंपनी बीआरपीएल, बीवाईपीएल, एनडीपीएल, और दिल्ली ट्रांसको के खर्चों की जांच करेगा। कंज्यूमर से विभिन्न डिपॉजिट स्कीम के जरिए और पूंजी निवेश कर कितने ऐसेट जोड़े गए हैं, इसका भी फिजिकल वेरिफिकेशन होगा। 

डीईआरसी के मुताबिक कंसलटेंट बिजली कंपनियों के खातों में 2006-07 से 2010-11 के दौरान दिखाए गए खर्चे की साल दर साल जांच करेगा। कंसलटेंट जांच के दौरान ज्यादा कीमत वाले आइटम का सैंपल सर्वे कर सकता है। इसकी भी जांच होगी कि बिजली कंपनियों ने जो खरीद की, उसकी टेंडर प्रॉसेस क्या थी और इसमें डीईआरसी की गाइडलाइंस का पालन किया गया या नहीं। कंसलटेंट खरीद की जरूरत पर भी अपनी राय रख सकता है, यानी जिसके लिए डीईआरसी पहले ही सैद्धांतिक सहमति दे चुका है उस पर कंसलटेंट देख सकता है कि उस खरीद की वाकई जरूरत थी या नहीं। अगर सैंपल में 25 पर्सेंट मामलों में खरीद ज्यादा कीमत पर पाई गई, तो सभी स्कीम की डिटेल में जांच की जाएगी। 

आरडब्ल्यूए प्रतिनिधि राजीव काकरिया ने कहा कि कंसलटेंट के लिए यह शर्त भी जोड़ी जानी चाहिए कि वह सैंपल का साइज बढ़ा सके। 25 पर्सेंट सैंपल में गड़बड़ी पाने पर नहीं, बल्कि 5-7 पर्सेंट सैंपल में गड़बड़ी पाने पर ही सभी स्कीम की पूरी जांच की जानी चाहिए। आरडब्ल्यूए का कहना है कि बिजली कंपनियों ने जिस तरह अपने अकाउंट को गलत तरीके से पेश किया है उससे यह संदेह भी होता है कि कंसलटेंट को प्रभावित करने की कोशिश की जा सकती है। कंसलटेंट बिना किसी दबाव और प्रभाव में आए बिजली कंपनियों के खर्चों का हिसाब बताए, इसके लिए जरूरी है कि उस पर पब्लिक की नजरें हों। उन्होंने कहा कि कंसलटेंट के काम को पब्लिक स्क्रूटनी के लिए ओपन होना चाहिए।

         जहरीली शराब ने नए साल के जश्न में लीं 17 जानें

हैदराबाद, एजेंसी : नए साल की आमद पर जश्न मनाने के लिए पिया गया शराब का आखिरी घूंट 17 लोगों के लिए साल का ही नहीं, जीवन का आखिरी जाम बन गया। दरअसल, आंध्र प्रदेश में दो अलग-अलग स्थानों पर जहरीली शराब पीने के कारण शनिवार से अब तक 17 लोगों की मौत हो चुकी है। मरने वालों में कृष्णा जिले के 16 और नलगोंडा का एक व्यक्ति है। नए साल की सुबह होने से कुछ घंटे पहले कृष्णा जिले के पोरत्नानगर में यह हादसा हुआ। विपक्ष के नेता व तेदेपा प्रमुख एन. चंद्रबाबू नायडू ने घटनाओं के लिए सरकार की अक्षमता को दोषी ठहराया है। हाल ही में पश्चिम बंगाल में भी जहरीली शराब पीने से 150 से ज्यादा लोगों की मौत हो गई थी। आंध्र प्रदेश की तीन जनजातीय बस्तियों में रहने वाले लोगों ने शनिवार को नए साल के स्वागत के लिए देसी शराब पी थी। हालत बिगड़ने के बाद उन्हें अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया। मरने वालों में तीन महिलाएं भी हैं। मिलावरम और विजयवाड़ा के अस्पतालों में आठ लोगों की हालत नाजुक बनी हुई है। 10 लोगों की मौत शनिवार रात को हो गई थी, जबकि पांच की मौत रविवार सुबह हुई। चिकित्सकों ने देसी शराब में मिथाइल अल्कोहल मिले होने की आशंका जताई है। शराब के नमूने को रासायनिक जांच के लिए हैदराबाद भेजा गया है। एक वरिष्ठ आबकारी अधिकारी ने कहा कि शराब में जहरीला पदार्थ मिला हो सकता है। उप-आबकारी आयुक्त हरविंदर सिंह के पहुंचने पर विजयवाड़ा अस्पताल में तनाव फैल गया। मरने वालों के परिजनों ने आबकारी विभाग के कार्यालय पर धरना देकर दोषियों के खिलाफ कार्रवाई करने और पीडि़तों के परिजनों को 10 लाख रुपये मुआवजा देने की मांग की। प्रदर्शनकारियों के साथ धरने पर बैठे तेलुगू देशम पार्टी (तेदेपा) नेता डी. उमामहेश्वर राव को पुलिस ने रविवार सुबह गिरफ्तार कर लिया। आबकारी मंत्री एम. वेंकटरमन ने मामले की न्यायिक जांच के आदेश दे दिए हैं। उन्होंने मिलावरम के आबकारी विभाग के सर्किल इंस्पेक्टर और सब-इंस्पेक्टर के निलंबन का आदेश भी दे दिया है। दूसरी घटना नलगोंडा जिले के चोटूप्पल मंडल के रेड्डीबवी इलाके में घटी। यहां नव वर्ष के स्वागत में जहरीली शराब पीने से एक व्यक्ति की मौत हो गई। तीन अन्य को अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया। आबकारी अधिकारियों ने इस मामले में एक शराब व्यवसायी को गिरफ्तार किया है। नायडू ने कहा कि सरकार शराब व्यवसायियों के गठजोड़ के खिलाफ कार्रवाई करने में विफल रही है, जिसमें कांग्रेस के कई मंत्री और विधायक लिप्त हैं। उन्होंने शराब व्यवसायियों के गठजोड़ पर सर्वदलीय बैठक बुलाने की मांग की।

I therefore, request you to please pay attention on this social evil and help us where ever needed.

Thanking You

Yours Sincerely

AJAY SHARMA

Go Solar !

Dear friends,

We at Shield welcomed this New year with a pledge to use more of solar renewable energy and also to promote it at grass root level. We all have been reading about it in our science text books but now time has come that we actually start using it. Till now we have looked at solar energy as option meant only for our village brethren,esp in remote areas where there is no electricity Question is why not us?What stops us from adopting it in urban areas? Some of us argue and give excuse that it is a costly option. Friends, Do we hesitate to buy a pair of branded jeans or clothes just because they cost more? No, because we know we are buying quality product which will give return over years .Solar equipment is eco friendly and we pay for only the initial installation of solar equipment but then use it for free for more than a decade or two.

We have chosen” Solar lamp “cum mobile charger, as our first product for our campaign as it is handy and affordable and easier to use. We were pleasantly surprised by the response of common man on street as they were genuinely interested and were fascinated by idea as most of them had first time seen something what they had all along been reading in school text books.

Our team is working on installation of solar lights in our building stairways and balconies or rooms where ever possible. the other options which we can look at are, Solar water heating systems, solar panels for charging inverters, solar cookers etc. we can reduce our electricity load by at least adopting solar energy for our house lighting needs and also get freedom from our total dependency on DISCOMS for our daily electricity requirement.

We request organization, societies and RWAs to seriously consider and start using solar energy and promoting it at grassroot level .

Please find few pictures attached taken during the campaign at few places in South Delhi. We shall continue to raise awareness in different areas Kindly forward this mail, for small efforts will make great differences in our lives and biggest factor is the mighty lord The Sun is on our side.

Warm Regards and Cheers

It was a very well organized Health camp in the area and Dr Monga has got requests from many more persons for a repeat of it at the earliest so that more senior citizens could get benefit. Dr Monga personally requested all the elders to have regular check ups so that they could live a trouble free life. He asked them to avail the facilities at the Free Health Check Up camps being repeated very soon in the area.

India has more hungry people than any other country in the world and we spent 86000 crores on CWG

230 Million people go hungry daily. 21% of its population is undernourished. 44% of under-5 children are underweight. 7% of them are dead before they reach five years. We should be ashamed as we are being compared with many African countries such as CONGO, CHAD, ETHIOPIA. Plz read as below and decide what we gained from 2008 to 2012 :

SHAME MALNUTRITION

Superpower? 230m Indians go hungry daily

Subodh Varma TIG 

Often, in the hype over economic growth, we forget the harsh reality of India — extreme poverty, hunger, disease, lack of education, and regressive social practices. We Indians should be ashamed about them. These simmering injustices cannot be allowed to fester because they will heighten social tensions that will ultimately risk our growth story. TOI flags some of the key problems that need speedy intervention 
    

With 21% of its population undernourished, nearly 44% of under-5 children underweight and 7% of them dying before they reach five years, India is firmly established among the world’s most hunger-ridden countries. The situation is better than only Congo, Chad, Ethiopia or Burundi, butitisworsethan Sudan,NorthKorea, Pakistan or Nepal. 

    This is according to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)whichcombinesthe abovethreeindicators to give us a Global Hunger Index (GHI) according to which India is 67th among the worst 80 countries in terms of malnourishment. 

    That’s not all. Data collected by GHI researchers shows that while there has been some improvement in children’s malnutrition and early deaths since 1990, the proportion of hungry in the population has actually gone up.Today,India has213 million hungry and malnourished people by GHI estimates although the UN agency Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) putsthefigure at around230 million.The difference is because FAO uses only the standardcalorieintakeformula for measuring sufficiency of foodwhiletheHunger Index is based on broader criteria.Nutrition schemes need to be expanded.

    Whichever way you slice it and dice it, the shameful reality is inescapable – India is home to the largest number of hungry people, about a quarter of the estimated 820 million in the whole world. 

    The National Family and Health Survey (NFHS), last carried out in 2004-05, had shown that 23% of married men, 52% of married women and a chilling 72% of infants were anemic – a sure sign that a shockingly large number of families were caught in a downward spiral of slow starvation. 

    Global research has now firmly established that depriving the fetus of essential nutrients – as will happen in an under-nourished pregnant woman – seals the fate of the baby once it is born. It is likely to suffer from susceptibility to diseases and physical retardation, as also to mental faculties getting compromised. 
    So, continuing to allow people to go hungry and malnourished, is not just more misery for them: it is the fate of future generations of Indians in balance. 

    What can be done to fix this unending tragedy? The government already runs two of world’s biggest nutrition programmes: the midday meal scheme for students up to class 12 and the anganwadi programme under which infants and children up to 6 are given “hot cooked” meals. 

    These need to be spread further and more resources pumped in to tackle weaknesses. For instance, a report by the anganwadi workers’ federation revealed that as many as 73,375 posts of anganwadi workers and 16,251 posts of supervisors are lying vacant. But the biggest contribution to fighting hunger would be providing universal coverage of the PDS with adequate amounts of grain, pulses and edible oils included.

India has more hungry people than any other country in the world : THE TELEGRAPH NEWS Dated 15 October, 2008

India has more hungry people than any other country in the world, despite the country's emergence as a major economic power.

India's lower castes and ethnic minorities are discriminated against, pushing them further into poverty, say experts Photo: AP

By Rahul Bedi in New Delhi

The Global Hunger Index for 2008 found that 200 million Indians go hungry. Food shortages in one state, Madhya Pradesh, were so serious that they compared with conditions in Ethiopia and Chad in Africa.

The survey ranked India 66th out 88 countries on the Global Hunger Index, taking into account three vital indicators: child malnutrition, rates of child mortality and the calorie deficient population.

"Despite years of robust economic growth, India scored worse than nearly 25 sub-Saharan African countries and all of South Asia, except Bangladesh," the report said.

Experts believe that India's abysmal record, despite self-sufficiency in food grains, is due to corrupt and bureaucratic distribution policies and poor childcare.

The recent rise in global food prices had worsened the situation by harming many poor families. Moreover, India's lower castes and ethnic minorities were discriminated against, pushing them further into poverty and starvation.

Since 2002, India has enjoyed average annual economic growth of around eight per cent, buoyed by a robust stock market, rising industrial output and high property prices. But these gains have not benefited the vast majority of India's 1.2 billion people. More than three quarters live on only 30 pence a day.
