Applaudable Two Initiatives of Punjab Government

    Although Punjab is under severe shortage of power but as per words of state government next two years will make Punjab state a surplus power state, as at war level works are under way at different places of state to erect power plants, and then not only Punjab State residents will get uninterrupted round the clock electricity but state will be in position to sell power to other states also, hence power cuts in the state will be story of history books, but to give uninterrupted power supply even during rough weather is challenge in India, in this direction Punjab State Transmission Corporation has started work on project and will be able to supply power even during winds or storms; to protect the right of child state government had given in writing to high court that it will soon make law to protect child rights. Its worth mentioning here that centre in the year of 2005 had constituted National Commission and asked state governments to form commission, but in Punjab State issue of constituting commission was delay for more then five years, now it gets nod of cabinet. As per government plan till 30th April,2011 state government will appoint Chairman of commission and other members of commission, once the law comes into force then cases’ of exploitation, atrocity, right to education and other cases’ can be raise at commission.
      Punjab government to give better facilities to its residents announces two applaudable projects one is related to the right of child and second is to give uninterrupted power supply during any weather. Brief information about both the projects is as follow –

• It is common scene in the country at the time of rough weather mean winds or storm power failure, and to restore the electricity some times it takes hours and in exceptional cases’ of days time, but on the advise of state government Punjab State Transmission Corporation Limited has make plan to get rid this problem and upgrade electricity transmission system with ultra modern facilities, which means that whole state will linked with 400 KV high voltage electricity lines ring, and work has started for this project in the state, cost of the project is 18 billion rupees and power supply will not fail at any time in the state. First time in the state, five specially 400 KV, five grid stations at Muktsar, Nakodar, Makhu, Dhuri and Rajpura will make and under construction new power plants will also attach with special electricity lines ring, during wind or storm power supply in the state gets effected in the past but now with electricity rings Punjab wont face such problem as power supply will continue during that time with the help of 400 KV high voltage lines.
• Centre in the year 2005 constitute National Commission for the child rights and asked state governments to form commission, states like Assam, Bihar, Delhi, Goa, Maharashtra, Sikkim, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have form Right to Child commission, but in Punjab state it was not constituted. As per reports state government had given in writing to court that soon it is going to form Child Commission, and now it has issue notification of forming commission for the protection of child right.
