“Delhi could face a power crisis. I am personally keeping a close watch over the situation. We are trying our best to avoid it. In the meanwhile, I wrote a letter to Hon’ble PM seeking his personal intervention.” Kejriwal tweeted on Saturday.

In his letter, Kejriwal asked for adequate coal to be diverted to the plants like Dadri-II and Jhajjar TPS, which supply to Delhi. He asked that APM gas be allocated to plants supplying to Delhi and an adequate quantity of NAPM gas be supplied to power stations in Delhi. He also suggested that the maximum rate of power sold through the exchange be capped to discourage profiteering from the crisis.

This warning came hours after the Tata Power arm operating in Delhi had sent phone messages to its customers to use electricity judiciously in the afternoon while referring to the coal shortage issue.

The SMS sent on Saturday stated: “Due to limited coal availability in generation plants across north, power supply scenario between 2 pm to 6 pm is at critical level. Kindly use electricity judiciously. Be a responsible citizen. Inconvenience caused is regretted – Tata Power-DDL.”

Earlier last week, Power Minister R K Singh had admitted that there is a coal shortage at thermal power plants in the country and termed it as ‘beyond usual.’

 

The power availability situation is alarming due to the long festive season with additional demand.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
