Power board to conduct survey
Chandigarh, June 19 It was decided at a meeting of senior officers of the Nigam here last evening presided over by Mr R.N. Prasher, Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary, Power. Taking note of the increasing trend of unauthorised extention of load on tubewells, Mr Prasher directed field officers to select 12 operation sub-divisions in the area of each operation circle and carry 100 per cent load checking of tubewells. He said farmers might be given a chance to declare unauthorised extension of load of tubewells voluntarily and during the period of this scheme, no penalty should be charged. However, after the scheme would be over, a massive and intensive campaign would be launched to check unauthorised extension of load. The erring consumer would be penalised as per rules. He said during last year, there was disclosure of 125 MW unauthorised load under the V.D.S. out of which 86 MW was declared in the agriculture sector. Mr Prasher said villagers should be given new domestic connections by going at their doorstep. He observed that in comparison to number of households in villages, the number of electricity connections was very less. He said that a massive campaign should be launched and domestic connections be released by holding camps in villages. He asserted that this task should be completed by September 30, 2006. Lt-Gen Lohchab, Chairman, Haryana Power Utilities, insisted on finding solution of problems of shortage of material and manpower. He observed that to achieve the target fixed by the government for segregation of rural and urban feeders, the utilities had to make strenuous efforts. Mr. Vijayendra Kumar, M.D., DHBVN, said there had been laudable decrease in line losses in the area of DHBVN.

CPM seeks White Paper on SEZ deal
Rohtak, June 19 In a statement issued here today, Haryana CPM state secretary Inderjit Singh said although opposition to the deal had come from various quarters, including leaders of the ruling Congress, the Hooda government had not publicly cleared the doubts expressed by political parties, affected farmers and the general public. He said the government should issue a White Paper on the issue detailing its land acquisition policies and projects under its consideration to ensure transparency in such deals. He said the government was acquiring fertile lands for industrial uses which would have long-term effects on the rural economy and the future of farming in the state. Seeking a people-friendly housing and industrial policy, he said only barren lands should be acquired for industrial purposes.
