The
Aam Aadmi Party demands that the union power ministry and the Delhi
administration should immediately make public their emergency
electricity restoration plan to ensure there would be no long power cuts
in the national capital.
It
is a matter of grave concern that even two weeks after the May 30
thunderstorm, which the power department officials are blaming for the
destruction of power cables and towers, no concrete action plan to
prevent such a situation from arising in the future, appears to be in
place.
Though
there appears to be some merit in the statement of union power minister
Mr Piyush Goyal that lack of investment in infrastructure for last 10
years during former chief minister Sheila Dikshit’s regime is
responsible for the weak network of electricity transmission and
distribution, but what is beyond understanding is his complete silence
on the functioning of private power distribution companies (discoms).
What
is worrying is the complete lack of accountability in the functioning
of the power department and the unexplained hesitation to fix the
responsibility for the long power cuts which made the life of the people
miserable in scorching heat.
The
silence of both, the BJP and the Congress on the functioning of discoms
and their inability to ensure uninterrupted power supply, gives rise to
reasonable apprehension about their close relations with these discoms.
