Load Shedding

The power situation in the three South Assam districts of Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi has being pathetic to say the least of the more than the last two decades. However the government has abjectly failed to initiate any step towards solving the menace. The primary reason for the pathetic states of affairs in the power sector is the absence of a power generating source in the valley.

The demand for power in Barak Valley is 93 Megawatt but  power is available 35-45 megawatt. Availability of insufficient power is not the only problem plaguing Barak Valley. Extremely poor and archaic power distribution infrastructure in the region ensures that a major portion of the power transmitted is lost in transit. Earlier the mega project was supposed to be constructed by the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO). Despite these developments, the future of this dam looks extremely bleak and uncertain with all the controversy going on surrounding the viability of mega power projects on the rivers of the north eastern region.

When the whole world is busy to upgrading its own power system through Nuclear Power, at the same time our Barak Valley is suffering from load shedding problem. This is one of the most major problem which harm each and every group of people. ASEB just fail to establish the balance between demand and supply. Every time they produce same excuses in front of people. But people are paying it’s cost. The per unit of electricity has been increasing in every six month. The problem is increasing instead of decreasing.

Human termed in ‘Cyborg’: Earth in Danger

In todays modern and technological civilization, humans are fully depends on machine. Actually now humans can be termed as ‘Cyborg’, which is hybrid of Man and Machine.

When man is fully dependent upon machine, the world is losing its perfect balance. As a result, innumerable natural resources and rare animal has come to extinction. Natural environment is suffering due to Cyborg. The rapid growth of industries continuously destroy the natural habitat. The poisonous smoke and wastes are emitted from these industries pollutes the environment. Increasing of human encroachment and growing population has led to the problem of deforestation.

Deforestation is the sole cause of earth’s losing its greenery. If further necessary steps are not taken to curb deforestation, then the day is not far when the earth will meet its doomsday.
