The new Deputy Commissioner of Sirsa Mr. V. Umashankar held his first formal press conference at the mini secretariat DC office today. After formal introduction with the press and media persons from Sirsa, the deputy commissioner said “Let's discuss some serious business now” Mr. Umashankar discussed the problems faced by the city Sirsa at length especially the water logging in the city after monsoon’s first downpour which was 115 mm, a rather heavy rain for city of Sirsa which gets scanty rainfall. He admitted that administrations as well as people of Sirsa were not really prepared for this kind of heavy downpour, however he said that by and large this rain had been useful especially to the drought hit farm sector. He said that a master plan to siphon out rain water shall be impemented soon. Rain Water Recharging systems are also being looked into.

On a question asked about accountability of officers the DC said that before holding anyone accountable, 3 parameters are necessary to be looked into, 1) Information, 2) Monitoring and assessment 3) Enforcement. Enabling & exercising of RTI (over some period) shall automatically lead to accountability.

Regarding the flyover on the railway on the national highway he said the state Government has cleared the project and that recently in a video conferencing session at Hisar, the chief secretary told him that the bridge should be constructed in near future may be by year 2007, for this the State Govt. is pursuing the matter with Ministry of Surface Transport and National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

About erratic power supply he explained at length the problems and said that suggestions are invited about a system like SMS info service, (free or on subscription only) via which people may be informed about a possible power cut. Already it’s being informed via cable TV. A mobile van for fault repairs is already pressed into service; the same can be reached via mobile number 9812215205 by anyone facing difficulty regarding power supply.

First Monsoon Rain brings cheers and woes

First Monsoon Rain brings cheers and woes.

11 July 2006

[All Photos can be clicked to view-enlarged version; also notice the satellite picture of the cloud cluster that caused the rain]

The first Monsoon rain that started after midnight on the night between 9th and 10th July gave the much-awaited relief from hot dusty humid days. Most farmers had welcomed the rain. The rain had been very timely as crops were withering under drought since last fortnight, although the rain was not evenly distributed over the district. On the other hands life in the city of Sirsa was thrown totally out of gear. Neither people nor the administration was really prepared to face the music of monsoon that recorded 115mm on the rain meter. Most of the localities of Sirsa were submerged in deep water at some places it was waist deep. The power failure in many localities continued till late evening of 10th July added to the woes as the pump sets installed for sewerage disposal system could not work. People had resentments against administration but it was found the respective departments though trying there best could not address the problems efficiently, and the main hindrance had been lack of coordination and power failure.

SirsaNews hit by Power Failures

Sirsa News Web affected by Power Failures

07 July 2006

Erratic power supply over the last 10 days is affecting many a people and organizations. Sirsa News Web is also badly affected by Unscheduled Power Failures and power quality of power supply supplied by DHBVN Ltd. Apart from fluctuating voltage low frequency is also affected sensitive equipment.

In view of this many of the pending posts at Sirsa News shall also remain pending for a while.

The CM Haryana announcement today that every village Dhaani would be provided electricity seems to be a cruel joke. When the DHBVNL is unable to supply power to Haryana’s major cities even during the night, from where the CM shall outsource the Power?
