Just read it in the papers today that Delhi Metro will be installing rooftop solar panels on Dwarka Sector 21 metro station. This will be the first solar project for the metro and will be producing 500 KWP a day in about 6 months from now.

Although this is a very good program started by Delhi Metro, however there is a major concern.. while sunny weather increase the power output of the solar panels, dust and intense heat actually decreases the output. Delhi gets it fair share of sunlight but in the summer season which is last quite a months, there is intense heat and together with the dust issue which is a year round problem… i don’t think the out put of the panels will be anywhere close to 300 KWP a day. I don’t know if this calculation would have been factored into account.

Anyways, i applaud the idea and i hope this is followed in all the other metro stations or where ever possible.

When Akhilesh Yadav came to power in U.P, i thought there is some hope for the state now. He is young, educated and seemed that he had the desire to change the sate of U.P politics. But a year down the line and things seem to be the same if not worse.

The latest episode with Durga Shakti Nagpal been suspended show how the U.P government is not only hand in glove with the sand mafia but also will go to any lengths to protects their interest.

An honest IAS officer is on the verge of being sacked because she fought against the sand mafia. In the light of this AAP has invited Dugra to join politics as a AAP member and contest elections against Mulayam Singh in 2014

As many as 50 irked home buyers on Saturday staged a sit-in outside the office of Unitech Limited Group to protest delay in possession of their flats.

The buyers were supposed to get possession of their flats in Uniworld Gardens II by 2011. But four years after the project was launched in Sector 47, the construction work is still far from over.

The housing society is supposed to have 500 flats spread over four towers.

The buyers, living across the country, connected through Facebook and planned to raise voice against the developer.

“We are fighting for our right to get our dream home on time, as was assured by the developer. We do not see getting the possession for at least the next two years as the construction is still not over,” said Pankaj Kalra, a buyer.

The buyers protested outside the realtor’s office in South City 1 after their representatives were not allowed inside the office for a meeting with Unitech executives.
