Sir,
Being situated in the vicinity of the Himalayas our State is rich in water resources. These resources could be used to generate electricity by constructing small hydro power plants. This may help us to become a power surplus State. However, mere generation of more power will not solve our power woes. For this people will have to use power judiciously.
Every time during summer season people protest against PDD for scheduled and unscheduled power cuts in scorching heat but the Power Department fails to respond to the peoples’ protests and refuses to introduce novelty in the system. Even some of its employees play ducks and drakes with the department. We are living in the 21st century and power is the mainstay of life. Just like green revolution and white revolution which made our country the exporter of wheat and milk worldwide, there is now a need for power revolution. It will make electricity available round the clock to each and every household not only in cities but also in villages. Our judicious use of electricity will further boost the industrial and agricultural sector of the country.
Yours etc…
