Contact: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Albert writes:- It is very sad to hear about the death of our beloved Joaquim and his son in Morjim. Electricity department is one of the worst department in the whole of Goa. Electricity wires are fitted with stays. It is just a plain electrical wire that is connected from one end to other end. If by chance the live wire breaks it falls on the stay and a shortcircuit is created and the power supply is cut off immediately. But the lines man do not bother to check whether the stays are there or not. Transformers are to be protected by some sort of fencing. One can see a load shutter .It is a long pole with a handle fitted to each transformer. The handle must have a rubber coating because if by chance someone touches the handle while the transformer gets tripped he /she can be electrocuted. We see electrical poles bent and some are damaged too. We see electrical wires are bent so low that there is a possibility of contact. In many places I have seen creepers grown right through to reach the transformer and the creeper has already taken possesion of the transformer . Electricity lines touching tree branches. Tranformer boxes kept open and sometimes fitted with a wire instead of a lock. Transformers and electrical fittings are rusty. Some are loosely connected. Sometimes the lines men do dissection electrical wires at the transformer that is the wires are joinned with other wires .Some people in the electricity department has side business. Some take contracts. Some are involved in tender hijacking. Some are LIC agents. etc etc. Who will bell the cat ? All those who have to bell the cats enjoy with the cats. You do not scratch my back or may be something else and I will not scratch yours. Let those dead cry we will make money. Our hearts are so hard we cannot see anything, we cannot hear anything. Quo vadis Dominio. _________________________________________________________________ Log on to MSN India for a lowdown on what’s hot in the world today http://in.msn.com
