They are up again with their suggestions to save power…
Just read about it on Mid-Day website, the BMC guys have come up with proposals to save electricity…here are their suggestions…..
1) The Undertaking has proposed to ask cinema halls to stop shows from 6 pm to 12 midnight. This means that people will be deprived of the 6 pm and 9 pm movies.
2) Will suggest to the Maharashtra Electric Regulatory Commission (MERC) to order cable operators in the city not to operate cable TV between 6 pm and 9 pm. This, says BEST, will save an estimated 500 MW.
3) Commercial establishments have been asked to set their temperatures above 26°C and delay switching on ACs by one hour. Similarly, they should switch them off an hour earlier each day.
I guess these guys have made new year resolution, whatever the condition it may be, we will give rest to our brains…

[...] Mumbai for the first time is on the brink of a power drought and will face power cuts! MSEB, BEST, MERC all are telling us to cut down actual, genuine use or face penalties and/or powercuts. They are giving all stupid solutions to the problem as pointed out by Deep. But what about the criminal waste by government departments? [...]
