Piyush Goyals – Long Power Cuts, High Cost, 1.1% Vill Electrified
May21, 2016 (C) Ravinder Singh ravinderinvent@gmail.com

I met him Piyush Goyal three years ago in run up to the 2014 LS
Elections and told him that most of his claims on River Linking are
FALSE – we exchanged cards – I sent him details but he didn’t
acknowledge. MoP ought to Focus on Efficiency & Maintenance.

BRPL – 10,000 MW, Peak Load 2570 MW – Annual Average 1300 MW

Just at the time PIB Press Conference was interrupted by power cuts in
spite of 2X500 KVA and 2X750 KVA standby gensets. We in my block were
also experiencing Several Unscheduled Power Cuts plus Brief Tap
Changing interruptions.

One of the Circuit Breaker was tripling due to Overloading. BRPL
average electricity billed is less than 10.5 BU approx – therefore at
Distribution Transformer level average load is just 1300 MW only but
has Connected Load of 10,000 MW approximately [9000 MW March2015] and
peak load yesterday was 2570 MW.

I was found after 4 days that another Lane was experiencing TRIPPINGS
for hours until some staff would Switch on The Breaker – On Fourth day
BRPL decided to Take Out The Breaker and Directly Connect the LT
section serving about 50 Consumers with over 1200 MW of Connected
Load. Unskilled Staff had no Special Tools and Just Taking out Damaged
Breaker 2 Hours when new CB could have been replaced in 15 minutes
max.

Will you add your name, Naresh?

MAY 22, 2016

My mom died at Sandy Hook.

Naresh — When I woke up on December 14th, 2012, I had no idea that I would never see my mom again, never hear her laugh or spend another afternoon together planning my wedding. But my mom was the principal at Sandy Hook School. And on that day, a gunman walked into her school and killed her as she tried to protect the children in her care. Today, the best way I can think to honor my mom is to do everything I can to make sure no other family has to go through what we did. That’s why I’m doing everything I can to make sure Hillary is our next president — I know she’s the only candidate in this race who isn’t afraid to stand up to the NRA and do what it takes to prevent gun violence. Will you add your name to stand with Hillary and me to pledge to do everything we can to take on the NRA and enact sensible gun violence prevention? Yesterday, Donald Trump spoke at the NRA’s convention. Trump promises to mandate that every school in America allow guns in classrooms, and he thinks the best way to prevent school shootings is to arm our teachers. My mom wasn’t a soldier on the front lines of a war. She was an educator doing her best to help kids grow up happy, healthy, and safe. Our laws failed my mom in Newtown — they failed her kids, too. But I know Hillary won’t fail us when it comes to making this country safer. I’m so proud to be on her team, and I’m glad you are, too, Naresh. I know that together, we can win this election — we have to. Families like mine are counting on you. Will you add your name today to show Donald Trump and everyone at the NRA convention that we’re not afraid of them, and we’re going to fight as hard as it takes to win this election and take action to prevent gun violence? Thank you for being part of this, and for helping to honor my mom’s memory. It means more to me than you know. Erica Hillary needs you now more than ever — chip in $1 to join more than one million grassroots donors standing with her:

Naresh, will you stand with Hillary and me against the NRA?

MAY 22, 2016

Taking on the gun lobby:

Naresh — On January 8th, 2011, a man stood three feet away from me in a grocery store parking lot, aimed a gun at my head, and pulled the trigger. I survived. But six innocent lives were taken that day, including a 9-year-old girl. I don’t get angry about what happened to me. But I am angry that so many Americans die every year because our leaders refuse to do more to keep guns out of the wrong hands and reduce gun violence. Yesterday, Donald Trump addressed the NRA’s national convention — that crowd cheered his every word, but now it’s our turn to show that we’re all standing with Hillary to make our communities safer from gun violence. Will you add your name to show you’re with us? The gun lobby has repeatedly blocked commonsense reforms like strengthening our life-saving background check system and holding irresponsible gun dealers accountable when they break the law. They have a lot of power in Washington — I saw that in Congress. But I know this team is strong enough to beat them if we work together. So join Hillary and me in this fight. Add your name to stand with us and stand up to the gun lobby — let’s fight together to make Americans safer: Thank you, Gabby Hillary needs you now more than ever — chip in $1 to join more than one million grassroots donors standing with her:
