Power Supply Crisis in Delhi

Posted: 01 Feb 2014 11:54 AM PST

BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna get power supply suspension notices — zeenews.india.com
 

NTPC on Saturday served notices of power supply suspension to the two Anil Ambani-owned distribution companies in Delhi due to payment issues. The state-owned utility said BSES Rajdhani and BSES Yamuna had not maintained letters of credit of adequate value, a prerequisite for getting power from NTPC stations.
Since BSES Rajdhani and BSES Yamuna have not been able to provide the requisite payment security mechanism, notice for regulation of power supply for 90 days starting February 11 has been issued to both companies.

Rain Basera: Night Shelters in India

Posted: 01 Feb 2014 11:44 AM PST

He is happy for the relief, but doubtful it will last | The Indian Express
 

Lal, however, feels that the bus shelter move is symbolic. "If the government really cared for the well-being of labourers, we would have had a house. Hamare paas peele card hote (We would have had a BPL card). I was a labourer, am still a labourer and nothing has changed for me. I still look for work every day. Humein kya fayda (What is there to gain for us)?" he says. Gurgaon civic authorities admit that the idea for night shelter buses came from Delhi, but add that they are doing better. "We are trying to provide better facilities, have made beds out of plywood and seven such buses are already operational. Next in line are mobile toilets for the homeless," says Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon, Praveen Kumar.
However, as the occupants of the bus near the Old Gurgaon Railway Station say, the real test of the government's intentions will be when the bus shelters are shut in the summer and the homeless go back to sleeping on the footpath. "Kisi ko chai naseeb nahin hoti, to kisi ko khaane ke saath salad chahiye. Ye hai rajniti (Some go without tea, others need salad with their food. This is politics)," says Lal.

When will BSNL launch new broadband plans?

Posted: 01 Feb 2014 11:21 AM PST

hi Guys,

 

Its frustrating that BSNL is yet to launch truly unlimited 1/2/4 Mbps plans for < 1500Rs. Its perpetually offering 512Kbps speeds from last 4-5 years. Not only that, they are not even offering speed boost say after 6pm like MTNL does. Its not only about downloading torrents. Even if i want to watch Youtube files, I am not able to with 512kbps. They should start offering speed boost to 2/4Mbps at 6pm to 8am slot if offering the same at daytime is not possible. What can we do in this situation ? Can we all raise a CRM ticket at selfcare portal to demand this ?

 

Sanket.

Aam Aadmi Party is in favor of smaller states

Posted: 01 Feb 2014 11:20 AM PST

"We, in principle, stand in favour of Telangana. We are in favour of smaller states," senior party leader Yogendra Yadav told reporters here.
He, however, added that when a decision over Telangana is taken rights of people of Seemandhra must be taken into consideration and the unique character of Hyderabad must also be respected.
"But in order to form Telangana the unique order of Hyderabad must be recognised.
"The legal and constitutional rights of Seemandhra must be respected and issues like river-water sharing should be worked out with satisfaction," Yadav added.

**Looking for suitable WiFi Router for home network**

Posted: 01 Feb 2014 11:06 AM PST

Hi there-

 

Greetings...

I've been using 512kbps-broadband from BSNL and planning to get 2Mbps DSL link from ACT broadband in the future. Kindly recommend the most suitable, value for money - WiFi Router for home use (budget Rs. upto 3500 max). My house is two storied, duplex having 1000 sqft on each floor (9 rooms). I need to interconnect my cell phone, laptop, desktop & HD TV and also to access internet via this WiFi router.

 

I kept a Cisco wireless access point (2.4 GHz, 2.2 dBi) in the middle of ground floor just for testing purpose & measured the signal strength with a Laptop for each rooms. Its found as signal drops 30 to 20% in far away rooms of the other floor. So, I guess a Range Extender may be required on the other floor where the router is not present.

 

So far I've heard abt only DLink, Linksys, TP-Link, Netgear brands.

My requirements -> access home internet using wifi via my android phone, watch HD videos on the TV occassionaly, laptop/desktop -work from home purpose. Should we choose 300 Mbps wireless speed model?

It will be good if there is a manual switch to turn off wifi when not required. I've already got a ADSL2 modem so, the WiFi router should have an internet/WAN port to accommodate the ACT broadband link.

 

Q1. Are these range extenders proprietary products....will a DLink extender work for Linksys or TP-Link brand?

Q2. If I also buy huawei e8131 (3G dongle + wifi hotspot), can it be used as back-up source of internet access via this wifi router?

Nitish Kumar: There is no Modi-Wave

BJP 'day-dreaming' in their own world : Nitish Kumar - The Economic Times
 

In a scathing attack at BJP, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said there was no wave in its favour in the coming Lok Sabha polls and the party is "day dreaming" in its own world.
"BJP workers are day dreaming in their own world...there is no wave in its favour for the general elections," Kumar said while addressing a JD(U) 'Sankalp rally' here.
Kumar blamed BJP for break up in alliance by violating the agreed principles - keeping off Article 370, uniform civil code and Ayodhya dispute - which could be solved either through court order or mutual talks between two communities.
"We had made it clear to them that the Prime Minister of the country should be a person who believes in inclusive growth and a vision to take backward states ahead," he said.
"We could not have betrayed our own conscience to keep others happy," he said to justify the decision to walk out of alliance with BJP 17 years after the elevation of Narendra Modi.

How to get a passbook for your ICICI Bank Savings Account?

Posted: 01 Feb 2014 09:43 AM PST

I have to admit, I have no idea. This has been my experience…

ICICI Bank recently mailed me that they were no longer going to send paper statement by postal mail.

I have two options. I can either make do with emailed statements. Or I can apply for a passbook. About the passbook, the email clearly said:


You can also ask for a pass book at your nearest branch.


Today, I decided to give it a go. I went to my 'nearest branch' (Sector 31 Market Gurgaon) to get a passbook for my savings bank account. I was told that there were some technical problems and only this branch right now was not able to provide passbooks to customers. I was told to visit any other branch where I could get a passbook on the spot.

I decided to take it one step further. I went to another branch of ICICI Bank (Civil Lines Gurgaon). There I was told that I can only get a passbook from the branch where I have my account.

I decided to do exactly that. I went to the branch where my account was located (Sector 14 Gurgaon). Was told… I can leave the application and come back after a week or so to collect my passbook. I was not amused by this. I asked for more details. Was told that only the home branch has the powers to update my passbook so I would have to deal with them.

Not exactly what ICICI Bank indicated in their initial mail.

I did the next best thing. I applied to transfer my account from that branch to the one nearest to my home.

This process would take three days. The bank representative at the local branch had told me that it would take them at least 2 weeks to start distributing passbooks again.

So well… The waiting begins.

Sonia Gandhi: BJP and Modi are sowing seeds of poison

Posted: 01 Feb 2014 08:59 AM PST

Sonia Gandhi launches fierce attack on Narendra Modi, Bharatiya Janata Party replies with \'maut ka saudagar\' taunt — www.financialexpress.com
 

In a stinging attack Sonia Gandhi today accused Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party of indulging in divisive politics by "sowing seeds of poison" (zeher ki kheti) and instigating violence in their "hunger" for power .
Addressing a rally here, the Congress chief alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party and other parties "have only one motive and that is to hanker after power".
"I am of the firm belief that you will not allow those who sow the seeds of poison, indulge in divisive politics, do not believe in secular principles and play politics of inciting violence to succeed," Gandhi said.
Bharatiya Janata Party reacted sharply to Sonia Gandhi's remarks, with party spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy saying that Congress will meet in 2014 the same fate as the drubbing it got in 2007 in Gujarat after her 'maut ka saudagar' (merchent of death) remarks against Narendra Modi.

Kejriwal also said his party will field candidates against politicians who were corrupt, have criminal records and those representing dynastic politics.
