We often see mega shows in Mumbai from film personalities, TV channels. Recently we saw a mega event of IDEA SAREGAMAPA at Shahaji Raje Krida Sankul in Mumbai. In the programme there was lot of light effects and bright lightings. I think this is a shear wastage of power. When many of the towns, villages and industrial units in Maharashtra are going through high power cuts, which is ultimately disturbing the daily life of many people. I want to ask whether it is wise to go for such events in the current power crisis. There are going to be more power cuts hence forth till the Monsoon starts. I urge the sponsorers and organisers to think over it and act accordingly.

All this talk of trying to save electricity is nonsense. The engine of growth will need power and the government of Maharashtra needs to provide it. If they do not - launch a movement to throw them out and privatise the MSEB which has been torturing people outside of areas not supplied by Tatas or Reliance.

You what is the most depressing fact ? People living in rural areas particularly in remote villages are a forgotten lot. No body cares, neither the administration nor the city folks.

Very good suggestion - we should start a movement against this power wastage in this difficult period, although we the people of maharashta are to be blamed for allowing bad politics to take over our lives - we can do nothing about our errant politicians - we should atleast help ourselves by highlighting these wastages.

More often than not the event management companies bring their own generator vans. I have witnesses this during college festivals. Huge electric generators fitted in vans run behind the stage.
