power revenue dept complain about MISSING or STOLEN POWER. they connect wires directly onto transmission wires or street lights. common even in AP i m toldThis reminds of villages and towns in UP where power cuts of 8 to 12 hours have been the regular phenomenon for years. In fact in many villages enterprising people have set up mini power plants with Diesel Gensets and supply power directly to the villagers and charge a flat rate per connection.
The other day there was a news article that Maharashtra would be facing upto 11 hours of power cuts per day. We are also not far behind, it seems.
Manmohan uncle is just a pawn for Congress ! All the praise will go to Congress party and Sonia madam and her Rahul baba. What MMS did with the economy in 1991 was worth praising but all that went down the drain with the chain of debacles of the government that has started since the last 3 years.MMS will be hailed for getting nuclear power by our future generation.
I think they should riot too. Break some electricity offices, lynch a few MLAs and local government dodos. That will make the dreaded state governments of these 2 states thing twice.Well, same incidents have happened in UP and Haryana too due to the poor power situation, as I read some time back. But obviously not at this scale.
You bet ! It has already happened in Haryana at least, somewhere near Rohtak or Hissar. Mobs of people attacked smaller substations and bashed up everyone working there and broke office furniture.I think they should riot too. Break some electricity offices, lynch a few MLAs and local government dodos. That will make the dreaded state governments of these 2 states thing twice.
These politician scum only understnd the language of beating.
Yep, they understand only that language. When their ass is on fire, they start doing things. Till then, its all maya...I think they should riot too. Break some electricity offices, lynch a few MLAs and local government dodos. That will make the dreaded state governments of these 2 states thing twice.

There has to be some clause introduced where environmentalists don't become infrastructural terrorists. This is a big problem as it hampers growth and development. There is so much deserted non-Arable land in the country around the places. Just go by a train and you'd see acres and acres of them lying free far from the main city. Why the fcuk does the government need arable land to create issues? Sometimes I feel they do it on purpose so that projects get delayed and they can suck up the allotted money before things smoothen up.All very well to talk about beating politicians. The fact is that new power generation projects get mired in all kinds of issues, from land acquisition to farmer protests, to environmentalist protests, and the greatest of all - protests by professional protestors like Medha Patkar and company.
The people in Rohtak who went and beat up the power dept employees and broke office furniture should be approached by the government to acquire their lands for a thermal power plant. Of course they should be compensated adequately, as per market rate. And the government should not back down, no matter what.
Your heartless rant was an eye-opener for me - I find it hard to believe that people in India are this ill-informed.in India every one is listened to except the one who should be. the idiots and conservatives are playing the poor tribal card- what these tribals has done to us to India. nothing.
practice subsistence farming, hunt in jungles. no economic contribution comes from them. even in case of forest conservation and wildlife protection they are retarded fellas. they are just occupying space and nothing else. they should be relocated as per the requirement and not as per their demands.
if medha patekar and all crappy people needs to have voting done over the project by the affected people then whole India should be put for voting as that power will come to me also. why only a selected target group or subjects are put up for voting drama. the customer for power are also the affected group.
put these jungle people in factories so that they can add to our gdp.
Yes - the posts need to be moved into a new thread. The discussion on tribals and environment will go on for some pages, i think.When did this thread became a topic of Indian power sector? Please stay on topic. Open another thread on Indian power sector if you want to discuss this.

I would love to reply to each and every asinine comments you have made - but I agree, this is OT.tribals need to get aside. its called rehabilitation.
environment- its protected thru nuke plants, that black smoke u r talking about.
power to a hamlet of 200 or 300 people or families is not a feasible option. you cant spend 200-300 crores on transmission line, distribution office and transformer for them they need solar lighting or biogas electrification.
India needs 400000 mw of power if we need to make it grow by the way we want-9% and every person given power.
if these tribals got dislocated due to invasions then they should be bought back to mainstream by putting them next to us, not leaving them with their forests.
we need to make some serious decisions. 51% of land is under cultivation. forest covers-the dense one is 21%. then we have desert and mountains and wasteland. we need to take care of 1.2 billion ppl with some of the largest herds of cows and buffaloes population, not to mention other domesticated animals.
so mr ace. what do you think these 400000 scattered land holders should be given a free hand. govt dont have land. the best way to put up a nuke plant without any risk( in case fukushima or chernobyl occur) is to make it in inaccessible areas or such isolated areas.
regarding power theft & free power- there is no force for people's protection and you are telling about the new task force for catching culprits. not possible in near future. the ethics of people have gone down and by the time we take them up high again there should be some alternative for eco growth.
would you had same reply if they-tribals hold land for defence purpose. as many people are protesting army/bro making roads in mountain in NE
Rehabilitation? Have you ever seen what happens in "rehabilitation" - let me give you an example, the Supreme court admonished the state and central governments for NOT rehabilitating dam affected people - like this ..tribals need to get aside. its called rehabilitation.

if the government needs the tribal held lands for national defense - in peacetime, then my argument will be the same - first build a new village for them, then give them adequate infrastructure for a livelihood, then relocate them with their consent. that is a civilized thing to do and a democratic thing to do. Otherwise we are no better than our enemies and our values are as bad as theirs.if these tribals got dislocated due to invasions then they should be bought back to mainstream by putting them next to us, not leaving them with their forests.
