People
are beginning to feel the effect of scorching heat in the
very beginning of April. Most of the wells have dried. There
is no water in ponds. Either the hand pumps give impure water
or they have started to go out of order. Water crisis is also
prevailing in cities. In several cities water has become a
scarce commodity. Water level of big reservoirs are decreasing
rapidly. Dams are in deteriorating condition. The members
of municipal corporations and municipal councils often argue
with one another. Water is being sold in all the big cities
including capital. Municipal related people have also started
selling water. If there is water crisis then how electricity
would be available. Hydro Electric Projects are also facing
crisis, because problems are increasing due to the water crisis.
Several units of the state are out of order and electricity
which was received from other places is not being received
sufficiently. There is announced and unannounced power cut
in cities and villages. Most of the time they receive single
phase power supply. The farmers would have to face more problems.
If in the middle of April month such situation is prevailing
then what would be the condition in May and June. Consumption
of electricity would increase in coming days and availability
would become even lesser. Even at present there is a great
difference between demand and supply. The government would
have to make special arrangements. Power could be purchased
from other states or from the Centre. As the State is experiencing
this crisis every summer, a permanent solution should be found.
