It rained last night in Mumbai Suburbs ...

It was more than just a pre-monsoon drizzle. It was a reasonably heavy downpour - accompanied by the usual thunder and lightning .. and the sweet aroma of wet mud :)

However, this also brought on the fear of what happened to us in Mumbai on that fateful 26/7 day in 2005.

I don't know if REL is equipped to handle another disaster like that.

See this link
that appeared at that time - just as a reminder of how flat REL fell on its nose.


With the kind of obsence tariffs that they have taken from us since October 2006, by jove, if they mess up this time .. they will really have to pay dearly...

The Rs. 100 cr so graciously announced by Anil Ambani (in the article) ...was not from his own pocket .. WE consumers paid for it .. so now we'd like to see us getting our money's worth.

Just two days back there was a sub-station trip at Poisar which plunged a few parts of Borivili/Kandivili into darkness for nearly two hours - 8.15 pm to11.00 pm. Without the rains if this is the situation .. what can we expect when it rains??

If we have even ONE hour of power outage anywhere in Mumbai suburbs on account of any silly reason ascribed to the rains, REL top brass should FORFEIT their salaries and commissions ...

How's that Mr. Anil Ambani .. ready to put your money where your mouth is ??

Dear Bijleepower,

Delhi also has REL through BSES. CNN IBN is doing summer showdown on how roy family is fed up with BSES load shedding due to BSES unablity to crack on power theft.

Now CNN has apologised to Anil Ambani and has censured the entire episodes of week 3 and 4 from the website showing how BSES are ineffective in controlling bijlee chor.

Kindly all readers must complain to CNN and demand that the missing episodes of week 3 and 4 must be put back on ibnlive website without censurship.

here is the link. to post feedback
