Appeal from PMPML Pravasi manch

LARGEST BLACK-OUT; RECONSIDER HIGHLY POWER DEPENDENT HEAVY CONSUMPTION METRO/MONO RAIL TRANSPORT PROJECTS !


65 CRORES INDIANS EXPERIENCED HORRIFYING BLACK-OUT , AS PRETENDED DUE TO ABUSE BY STATES DRAWING POWER FROM GRID EXCEEDING QUOTA ALLOTTED.

One wonders with advanced technological controls in place how in the world any one can draw power exceeding quota.Its obvious there is lack of Governance and abuse by people in power; so that no system can work.



So is the case with Nuclear Power Generation,though it is claimed that all safety provisions/systems will be implemented; its anybody's guess ,when such an advanced & dedicated,disciplined Japan couldn't save explosions & safety hazards there; how India will be able to safeguard from hazards, where Governance is bad and rampant abuse by people in power is order of the day.



We aspire to generate power including Nuclear with life risks for generations and then abused , misused by violating discipline & integrity. NO ONE CAN ASSURE THE INSTANCES LIKE WORLD'S LARGEST AND LONGEST BLACK OUT WILL NOT BE REPEATED , PUTTING CITIZENS LIVES IN MISERY AND DANGER.Our lifestyles have made us dependent on use of power extensively.



As such , essential uses of power be identified and use be restricted for that only e.g., domestic use,street lights, hospitals, irrigation,manufacturing ,long distance rail transport etc.The power should never be used for the non-essential purposes, and uses where other non-power alternatives are available.As well eco-friendly alternatives be explored e.g., solar, wind etc



RECONSIDER HEAVY POWER CONSUMPTION METRO/MONO RAIL TRANSPORT PROJECTS ! Since Heavy consumption and high dependence on power for operations, maintenance, facilities like escalators to & from Stations etc is unavoidable; its a loose-loose situation for all - heavy exploitation of nature/environment ; adds to misery of citizens as essential services remain power-starved like agriculture,manufacturing,hospitals etc.



For Local city transport Non-motorized mode of transport like walking/cycling for short distanc 5 to 10 kms and beyond ,Public Bus Transport be promoted and strengthening existing rail system be preferred over HEAVY COST, HIGHLY POWER DEPENDENT, SPOILING CITY HERITAGE ,METRO/MONO RAIL PROJECTS for PUNE & PIMPRI-CHINCHWAD.



WE strongly Demand to RECONSIDER HEAVY POWER CONSUMPTION METRO/MONO RAIL TRANSPORT PROJECTS !

and substantially promote WALKING, CYCLING & PMPML BUS SERVICES.
