Hello Nagesh Bhatcar,
Thank you for the excellent support, on the 'ISSUE' raised by me; Also for
your nice and helpful insight, into the practical 'functioning' within the
elact. Dept.
I hope the Ministry and the whole Cabinet,will take a hard look at all this
mess; and begin with a 'complete restructure' of the whole dept.
On second thoughts, and to avoid another 30 years of mayhem, it would be
better to privatise the whole Job of Transmission, Distribution, and
connection etc of elect. power, in Goa.
Yes the BEST and BSES from Bombay are capable entities and with a little bit
of power supply expertise in rural areas where one encounters hills, rivers,
and sandy soil problems etc.
The main thing would be to sell them the power and make them responsible to
recover their costs; and enforce the 'Consumer's Right to an uninterrupted
power supply at 'parameters' enshrined iin the Indian Electricity Act.
Thank you for your input; I hope more are forthcoming, for the development
of Goa.
Cheers,
Nasci Caldeira
Melbourne.

Nasci,
Excellent piece of work on you part to put together such a detailed
document.
I worked for the Electricity Department as a Junior Engineer, for a couple
of years
in the early 80s and have a fair idea about its functioning. I worked in
the office
of the then Chief Electrical Engineer, Mr. J.U. Pereira. He had a lot of
ideas in mind
that he tried to implement including harnishing of Wind power. >
But, total elimination of corruption is the only way to improve any
infrastructure in Goa.
And as long as corrupt and selfish politicians exist, that will only be a
dream.
Nagesh
