Delhi: SC grants doctor relief in power theft case

If a power theft case is pending, a consumer’s electricity supply cannot be disconnected, the Supreme Court said on Tuesday.

A vacation bench headed by Justice AK Patnaik ordered BSES to restore power supply within 48 hours at premises in Vasant Kunj occupied by a lady doctor.

On a petition by Meena Chaudhary, the court held it was the duty of the power company to supply electricity to all owners in all premises.

Chaudhary is facing a power theft case since 2010. Electricity supply to the premises where she lives was disconnected a few days ago. Despite her request, the power company did not grant a meter connection in her name as she wasn’t the owner of the premises.

At this, the bench clarified that even if the original consumer did not want the connection, it would be restored in Chaudhary’s name subject to formalities and told the lady doctor to pay the electricity charges.

“If a landlord does not pay up, the tenant has to be given the power connection. We don’t want any dispute to come in the way of supply of electricity,” the court observed orally, adding Section 43 of the Electricity Act obliges a power company to supply electricity to a owner or an occupier on request.

Chaudhary had approached the Supreme Court under Article 32 of the Constitution seeking restoration of power supply to her residential premises. She claimed the power company had removed the electricity meter in 2007, while she was away in Patna for official work.

According to her, power supply continued at her place and she kept paying the provisional bill raised by BSES. Meanwhile, she even gave five representations to the company for installing a meter. However, in 2010 BSES registered a theft case against her and disconnected the supply few days ago.

Power outages in parts of east, south Delhi

NEW DELHI: Along with soaring temperature, power cuts have added to woes of residents in different parts of the city. Several parts of east Delhi and some parts of south Delhi faced intermittent power outages on Saturday night and Sunday. These outages were between 15 to 30 minutes long and happened multiple times. According to officials at Delhi Transco, there was a snag in the transformer due to heat. The snag is being fixed and power supply is expected to normalize soon. 

At Mayur Vihar Phase II, there was no power supply between 10.30pm and 3am. "The power came back briefly for an hour or so in between. But we couldn't sleep all night," said a resident. 

Residents at Krishna Nagar said power supply has been irregular for the past two days. "There were power outages of about 15 to 30 minutes every couple of hours, even at night," said B S Vohra, an RWA member. 

M P Gogia, member of Rajouri Garden RWA added that there were seven to eight power outages on Saturday night. 

Residents of IP Extension also had similar complaints. "There were two power cuts for half hour each on Sunday in most pockets of Patparganj," said Vivian Fernandes, a resident of Patparganj. 

BSES officials confirmed that there were some constraints with transmission. "There was nothing amiss from the BSES side. We understand that there were some minor issues with transmission," they said. 

Some parts of south Delhi like Vasant Vihar also had complaints of brief power outages. "Power supply has been very erratic for the last few days. There are more than five outages on some days. Though they are not long, residents suffer because of the heat," added Samir Bhagat, a member of Vasant Vihar RWA.

Delhiites help flood victims get back on their feet

NEW DELHI: Tragedies often bring out the best in people even if the victims are miles away. Delhiites in several parts of the city are collecting funds, packed food, medicine, shoes and clothing for the Uttarakhand flood victims who are still waiting to be rescued. 

In Ashok Vihar, NGO Prerna, along with residents, collected relief. Three trucks loaded with the material will start for the flood-hit areas of Uttarakhand to reach it to them. 

"Thousands of people are in need of things like shoes, medicines, blankets and packed food. We have asked residents to donate what they can—be it money or material. We have tied up with the RSS camp in Dehradun and they will reach the relief to the victims by helicopter," Mahender Nagpal of Prerna said. 

People in Vasant Vihar have, meanwhile, started collecting funds. "We have sent a mail to everyone in the area and people can contribute through cash or cheque. Once the money is collected, it will be sent to the PM's relief fund by next week," Sameer Bhagat, joint secretary of Vasant Vihar Resident Welfare Association, said. 

In Rajouri Garden, special pujas and havan were held for the safety of the stranded. "Special pujas are being held in temples everyday and yajnas were arranged for the victims," Neelam Gulati of Rajouri Garden RWA said. A funds collection drive is on at the temple for the flood victims. 

The residents of Krishna Nagar in east Delhi are collecting warm clothes. "Warm clothes and blankets are being collected along with money for the victims. Candlelight vigils and prayers are also being held," BS Vohra, member of an East Delhi RWAs Front, said. 

Even the municipal corporations have decided to contribute money for the flash flood victims. "A sum of Rs 10 crore will be contributed. We will be buying packed food and other things that the victims need with the money and send these across since rescue operations will take time owing to the rains," Subhash Arya, leader of the House, South Corporation, said. All councillors will donate Rs 2,100, which is their monthly allowance, for the Uttarakhand flood victims.

After deluge, vector-borne diseases, warn experts

B.S. Vohra, representative of the Mega Delhi Residents Welfare Association, said the process of fumigation started a little late. "The process of fumigation is being done by the corporations but unfortunately it started only after a few cases of dengue were reported," he said.  http://newindianexpress.com/nation/Dengue-malaria-threat-in-Delhi-say-experts/2013/06/22/article1647705.ece

B.S Vohra who represents the Mega Delhi Residents Welfare Association, told IANS: "DJB charges sewage tax from citizens and is, therefore, responsible for cleaning the drains in the capital."  http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/de-silting-of-drains-incomplete-delhi-roads-flooded-113061800850_1.html

B.S. Vohra, another representative of a residents' welfare organisation, said: "The corporations alone cannot do much. Other government agencies like Delhi Jal Board are also responsible for the cleaning of drains and clearing of sewage." "The DJB charges 60 percent from the bill paid by the citizens as sewage tax, so they ought to clear the sewage," Vohra said. http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/monsoon-catches-delhi-unawares-this-year-too-113061900871_1.html

Mobile phone facts ! विचित्र किन्तु सत्य ?

मोबाइल से जुडी कई ऐसी बातें जिनके बारे में हमें जानकारी नहीं होती लेकिन मुसीबत के बक्त यह मददगार साबित होती है ।

इमरजेंसी नंबर -दुनिया भर में मोबाइल का इमरजेंसी नंबर 112 है । अगर आप मोबाइल की कवरेज एरिया से बाहर हैं तो 112 नंबर द्वारा आप उस क्षेत्र के नेटवर्क को सर्च कर लें . ख़ास बात यह हैकि यह नंबर तब भी काम करता है जब आपका कीपैड लौक हो !

जान अभी बाकी है-मोबाइल जब बैटरी लो दिखाए और उस दौरान जरूरी कॉल करनी हो , ऐसे में आप *3370# डायल करें , आपका मोबाइल फिर से चालू हो जायेगा और आपका सेलफोन बैटरी में 50 प्रतिशत का इजाफा दिखायेगा ! मोबाइल का यह रिजर्व दोबारा चार्ज हो जायेगा जब आप अगली बार मोबाइल को हमेशा की तरह चार्ज करेंगे !

मोबाइल चोरी होने पर-मोबाइल फोन चोरी होने की स्थिति में सबसे पहले जरूरत होती है , फोन को निष्क्रिय करने की ताकि चोर उसका दुरुपयोग न कर सके । अपनेफोन के सीरियल नंबर को चेक करने के लिए *#06# दबाएँ . इसे दबाते हीं आपकी स्क्रीन पर 15 डिजिट का कोड नंबर आयेगा . इसे नोट कर लें और किसी सुरक्षित स्थान पर रखें . जब आपका फोन खो जाए उस दौरान अपने सर्विस प्रोवाइडर को ये कोड देंगे तो वह आपके हैण्ड सेट को ब्लोक कर देगा !

कार की चाभी खोने पर -अगर आपकी कार की रिमोट केलेस इंट्री है और गलती से आपकी चाभी कार में बंद रह गयी है और दूसरी चाभी घर पर है तो आपका मोबाइल काम आ सकता है ! घर में किसी व्यक्ति के मोबाइल फोन पर कॉल करें ! घर में बैठे व्यक्ति से कहें कि वह अपने मोबाइल को होल्ड रखकर कार की चाभी के पास ले जाएँ और चाभी के अनलॉक बटन को दबाये साथ ही आप अपने मोबाइल फोन को कार के दरवाजे केपास रखें , दरवाजा खुल जायेगा ! है न विचित्र किन्तु सत्य ?
