AC assents purchase of additional 500 MW of power to meet the winter demand

editor Leave a comment

JAMMU: The Administrative Council (AC), chaired by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, met here and approved the purchase of 500 MW of firm power from the Ministry of Power (MOP) in order to meet the UT's Base Load power requirement. Attending the meeting were Dr. Mandeep Kumar Bhandari, the Lieutenant Governor's principal secretary, Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta, the chief secretary, and advisor Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar. The AC approves the allocation of an extra 500 MW of firm power from MOP in B(v) mode (purchasing handled by PFC) in order to meet the base load power requirement, which is essentially necessary to meet the demand during the winter.Because of the large amount of hydropower in the UT, the availability decreases in the winter. AC approved the signing of a new Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between J&K Power Corporation Limited (JKPCL) and NTPC regarding Singrauli-III, which is operated by NTPC, in order to close the gap between demand and availability of power during the winter months. This will lessen J&K's energy demand, which is rising at a 10% CAGR. As a thermal power station that is required to run, Singrauli-II provides power to J&K during the winter months when the hydro generators of ISGS generate only 150–300 MW, or 70–90% of the summertime generation. Therefore, in order to help the UT get over its power shortage during the hard winter, it will sign a new Power Purchase Agreement of JKPCL with NTPC regarding Singrauli-III. This will increase its availability.

Jammu disappointed with BJP, LG administration: Bukhari

editor Leave a comment

JAMMU: Altaf Bukhari, the president of the Apni Party, stated on Sunday that the people of Jammu are "deeply" disappointed in the BJP and the administration led by the Lieutenant Governor following the repeal of Article 370. Due to an increase in terrorist activity, the former minister also voiced concerns about the changing security situation in the twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch. Speaking at a one-day party convention at Ratnu Chak here, Bukhari stated, "Jammu is deeply disappointed with the present dispensation and the BJP in particular as they have failed to deliver what was promised after the abrogation of Article 370."He said that the BJP had assured the people that Article 370's abrogation would open the door for significant investment in wider industrial growth and the creation of jobs, calling it a "stumbling block" in the development of Jammu and Kashmir. He declared, "Nothing like this has happened till date," referring to the purported underdevelopment and dissatisfaction of the populace, particularly because outsiders have "grabbed" Jammu's resources and trades. He claimed that the local populace feels taken advantage of because the foreign contractor and alcohol mafia actively collaborates with government officials.He made reference to the anti-encroachment drives, the alleged increase in the number of liquor stores, and the exploitation of natural resources. "These officials have also been imported to Jammu and Kashmir even though they do not know the ground reality, and these officers have no connect with the population and have become infamous for their actions that are completely anti-people," he said. He claimed that Jammu and Kashmir had never before seen a situation where the native population was entirely ignored and outsiders were actively encouraged in both the public and private sectors. There is no responsibility for public servants. This is taking place as a result of J&K not having an elected government and not having assembly elections announced," he stated. The leader of the Apni party restated the party's demands for the prompt restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood as well as the holding of assembly elections to give the populace a say in who leads their government. He was grateful to the locals who lived near the International Border and the Line of Control because they had "bravely" faced the enemies and assisted the defence forces in defending the internal security of the country. During the convention, Bukhari paid moving tributes to the victims of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks out of respect.

India monitoring respiratory illness cases in China, says situation not alarming

editor Leave a comment

NEW DELHI: On Sunday, the Chinese central government restated its close observation of the recent spike in respiratory illnesses among children in certain regions of the country. The Union Health Ministry stated that there was no reason for concern in its most recent update. There has been news of a significant increase in childhood respiratory illnesses in northern China in the past few weeks. In light of this, the Union Health Ministry has made the proactive decision to thoroughly examine the respiratory illness preparedness measures.As a precaution, states and UTs are advised to review hospital and public health preparedness measures right away. These include assessing the availability of personnel, hospital beds, influenza medications and vaccines, medical oxygen, antibiotics, personal protective equipment, testing kits, and other necessary medical supplies. They have also been requested to make sure that trends in severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) and influenza-like illnesses are properly tracked. According to data recently released by the WHO, respiratory illnesses are becoming more common in China's northern regions. According to the World Health Organisation, this increase was caused by the COVID-19 restrictions that were released at the beginning of the winter season, as well as the seasonal trend of respiratory diseases like Mycoplasma pneumonia. Despite the fact that WHO has asked Chinese authorities for more information, it is determined that there is currently no reason for concern.
