A terror SMS from your cell? Possible

Imagine getting a lewd SMS from a number you know, going to police with a complaint and then finding out that the supposed sender is clueless about what happened.
Two such cases have been reported to Mumbai police in the past month. Though they are yet to track down the sender, they have managed to unearth a bizarre truth, that of the `masked SMS'. The user has to register on a website (for as little as $10) and can send text messages to and from any mobile number on the planet without being identified.
Mumbai police have managed to track down two or three websites that are used to send masked messages and are collaborating with IT experts to get to the bottom of the matter. ``We have received two complaints in the last one month where the sender's number was camouflaged,'' joint commissioner of police (crime) Rakesh Maria told TOI on Saturday.
IT industry sources said, ``It's rare for the real miscreant to be caught in such a situation because people might register under false identities and also commit credit card fraud to pay the small registration fee,'' says IT expert Vijay Mukhi.

Water Harvesting

Water harvesting is the need of the hour. Demand of water consumption is out stripping the supply and we have to beg or threaten others to quench thirst of delhites. The contribution of government at centre or state level does not inspire any confidence. It is good to observe that now delhi government is activating the abandoned RENNY WELLS. I had seen at three to four feet water level along ring road while erecting 33kv(33000volts)tower line from Indraprasth Power Station to Kilokri village(very near to maharani bagh new delhi).

In fact not only water was gushing out but snakes also coming out from the pits being dug from tower foundation pits. Even in south Delhi, hand pumps were sunk to less than thirty feet. Now even in east delhi..water table is going down. It is possible that wars in less than fifty years may be fought for water.

It is amazing how government was advertising and telling individuals to harvest rain water. At least now government must wake up, action action plan for 2010 to 2011 needs to be announced. Five year plans need to be formulated and monitored by activating bhagidars.

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit dedicates Diageo’s ‘Water of Life’ initiative to Delhi residents

You are here: Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit dedicates Diageo’s ‘Water of Life’ initiative to Delhi residents.
Diageo, the world’s leading premium drinks business with an outstanding collection of brands like Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff and VAT 69, today dedicated its latest Water of Life initiative in India, the Jal Sanchay Abhiyaan in Delhi.
Chief Minister, Mrs. Sheila Dikshit, was the chief guest at the dedication ceremony of Jal Sanchay Abhiyaan along with Ramakant Goswami, MLA and Vice Chairman of Delhi Jal Board and Bishan Singh Bedi, former captain of the Indian Cricket team. This public private sector partnership is supported by the Bhagidari initiative of the Delhi government with implementation support from the Delhi Jal Board, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, Delhi Development Authority and Central Groundwater Board.
Diageo has teamed up with the Forum for Organised Resource Conservation and Enhancement (FORCE), a leading water conservation NGO, to construct rainwater harvesting structures for the replenishment of groundwater through 50 abandoned tubewells in Delhi. It is estimated that the project will provide between 10,000-14,000 people with up to 40 million liters of clean water per year.
Diageo’s Water of Life programs across the world provide local communities with greater access to clean water and advance environmental conservation in line with the UN’s Millennium Development Goals, which include halving the number of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water by 2015.
In addition to the tangible benefits of increased water access, this project aims to foster greater awareness and education among local communities about the importance of water conservation, particularly among the youth. Diageo is building community capability by working closely with the Resident Welfare Associations, the Delhi Jal (water) Board and local government, as well as by involving Diageo employees.
Roland Abella, Managing Director, Diageo India said, “Access to clean water is a universal human need and holds a special significance for our business, which itself depends on a reliable supply of clean water. Projects such as the Jal Sanchay Abhiyaan which provide access to water and promote environmental conservation reflect our commitment to support local communities and represent an important component of our Water of Life program.”
Jyoti Sharma, President, FORCE added, “80% of rural India and 50% of urban India is dependent upon groundwater for its domestic water needs. Jal Sanchay Abhiyaan is an excellent example of a joint stakeholder effort to ensure drinking water security for this vulnerable segment. We look forward to continued collaboration with Diageo”.
Lin Menuhin, Corporate Social Responsibility Director, Diageo Asia Pacific, told reporters at the dedication ceremony, “We are delighted to be contributing to the local community here in Delhi. We have a long-standing relationship with India through our brands and it is important that we also invest in the social wellbeing of the communities. Together, as individuals and as a business, we can make a difference.”
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, Ramakant Goswami, Bishan Singh Bedi, Diageo, FORCE and the residents of Naraina Vihar were the first to sign the pledge committing to respect and value water everyday in every way.

The stray dog menace in F Block, Krishna nagar

Residents of F Block, Krishna nagar are facing the problem of stray dogs, roaming in the locality. In the nights they bark so loudly that you can not even sleep. In the morning hours, when school kids are out on the road for catching the buses, these stray dogs in dozens, create a lot of problem, by barking and chasing the school kids, morning walkers, bikers, scooters & cars. A kind of terror is existing in the minds of school kids as they fear of a dog bite. Several maids who come to the area in the morning hours have been bitten. A resident of the area was so badly bitten by these dogs that it took her over a month to recover. We request to Dr. V K Monga, councillor of this area, to please look into the matter at the earliest.

Protest Against Public nuisance caused by public sector offices

Large generators say above 20KW OF VINTAGE CATEGORY ARE NOT ONLY ELECTRICITY GENRATORS but are POLLUTION GENERATOR and NOISE GENERATOR also. I know at my cost.

State Bank of India branch has been functioning in A-61 Madhuvan (near preet vihar) new delhi 110092. We are staying just near rear side of above house. The electric connection to above said bank had been provided about five years earlier, by stringing service cable from the pole in front of house number 67. Elecricity to all houses of Madhuvan located along Nagraj Muni Marg has been provided from front side from LT LINE meant for only these houses. In fact to house number 61 from where state bank is functioning had earlier been connected to above front side LT FEEDER.

But when bank branch was established the feeding point was changed causing very low voltage and voltage fluctuation to our houses. We had protested in writing and i as an honorary secretary of Delhi officers Co..op House Building Society Ltd had brought on record this illegality. My complaint was duly acknowledged and forwarded to chief engineer Karkar Dooma BSES YAMUNA power ltd...but it remains pending till today.

The generatior has been installed on rear side of above building . This is a generator which generates not only electricity but is generating gaseous fumes and Noise which is un bearable.
The requests to manager a couple of times did not bring any result.

Now i as VICE PRESIDENT OF MRWA have taken up this issue with honourable Lt. Governor DELHI. My humble request is that in case public sector units create such situations, never suffer in silence. Go on contesting and sharing with all of us..so that authorities wake up.
