Mr Sudhir Krishna, Secretary, Ministry of UD, Govt of India visited New Town last Sunday. I gave a two-hour presentation to him: there was a good exchange of views. After that, we took Mr Kumar and Mr S.K Lohia, OSD & JS MoUD GoI to Rabi Rashmi, the Solar Housing Complex of WBREDA. Mr Sushobhan Bhattacharya, Director WBREDA and all of us appear in the photograph below:
Today was the day of 24 hour strike. Attendance in Hidco was 90%+. Also in UD it was quite high. Many officers stayed in UD bungalow in Salt Lake. Many arrived very early in the morning: I met two engineers walking in the Central Park who'd come very early for office. We did good work on budget preparation and I even went to Writers' and had discussions with CM, FM, MIC UD, CS and HS (separately) on various issues.
good to know about the Solar City status. Could you please also let us know about the advantages this status would bring in?
ReplyDelete... it feels great to learn about the anti-bandh policy of the government.
Good news !
ReplyDeleteSo would that mean residents will be offered incentives if they install solar systems ?
A small suggestion regarding Central Park. Like many Salt lake residents, I also like to go there early mornings whenever I am in town.
I could not help noticing all these cars parked near the main gate and driving like maniacs on that very narrow access road almost running over the morning walkers.
I think something needs to be done. Maybe making the area car-free.
I dont know if car owners will like that idea or not. Or else I could talk to Forest Department
ReplyDeleteThat will be a good idea....
ReplyDeleteMight do them some good, walking that extra distance.
