    Amid complaints of pesky power cuts at Sehri, Iftaar; KPDCL says supplying record electricity at peak hours

    [ad_1]

    Srinagar, Mar 27: Amid complaints of pesky power cuts during Sehri and Iftaar time from various parts of Kashmir, Kashmir Power Development Corporation Ltd (KPDCL) Monday said that the department was supplying record electricity during the fasting month and the cuts were the result of huge load shedding at peak hours.

    Pertinently, the government had promised adequate electricity this Ramadan and issued directions to the department. However, consumers from different parts of the Valley continued to complain of erratic power supply during Sehri and Iftari times.

    As per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the locals from Srinagar and other districts of Kashmir said that the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) has failed to bring respite from the unscheduled power cuts to the people during the holy month of Ramadan.

    The people are being pushed to the wall, especially at the peak times, Sehri and Iftaari, they said.

    However, the locals rue the absence of the facility, saying that the people are being forced to reel under darkness at Sehri and Iftaar times.

    The locals from Prang, Kangan, Akhal, Chattergul, Kachnabal, Najwan, Wayil, Prang, Barwalla Nunner and Main Town Ganderbal said they are getting electricity for merely 5 to 6 hours in a day, thus leaving the consumers here to lurch at large, adding that the concerned department, however, is acting as mute spectator.

    Manzoor Ahmad, a resident of Ganderbal, said that despite paying hefty electricity bills, the department has failed to ensure adequate electricity to them, adding that the locals are being pushed to the wall by forcing them to reel under darkness.

    Besides Srinagar, South Kashmir areas Pulwama, Shopian, Anantnag, Awantipora, Tral, Keller, Zainapora, Harmain, Pampore, Kakapora, Rajpora, Litter, Dooru, Pahalgam, Ashmuqam, Kokernag, Verinag, Bijbehara, Mattan, Seer and north Kashmir areas including Sopore, Baramulla, Lalpora, Tangmarg, Bandipora and many areas of district also witness the unscheduled power cuts at present.

    Meanwhile, the consumers demanded the government to look into the matter and ensure that the adequate electricity is supplied to them especially during Sehri and Iftaar times.

    Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) Chief Engineer, Javaid Yousuf Dar, however, told KNO that the department has supplied the highest ever electricity to the consumers on the first day of Ramadan at 1893 MWs.

    “The demand usually remains high during the peak hours and we have been supplying best to our consumers. 1850 MWs are being supplied on a regular basis during the peak hours, but as the demand remains high, the curtailments have to be done,” he said.

    He added that less curtailment is being ensured to supply better electricity to people. He, however, said that since people use electricity one time i.e. during Sehri by switching on all appliances, huge load shedding is witnessed in some areas which leads to power cuts. “The situation will improve by Eid,” he said.

  • How many hours do Muslims fast around the world during Ramzan?

    How many hours do Muslims fast around the world during Ramzan?

    [ad_1]

    Ramzan is just around the corner. The holy month is expected to begin on Thursday, March 23 this year and more than a billion Muslims around the world will start observing a month-long fast during daylight hours.

    In Islam, Ramzan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and the holy month of fasting. It begins and ends with the appearance of the crescent moon.

    Ramzan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar and is believed to be the month during which the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad.

    Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset and abstain from food and drink during this period.

    Fasting requires abstaining from eating, drinking, smoking, and sexual intercourse during daylight hours in order to gain greater ‘taqwa’ (God-consciousness).

    However, the duration of the fasting hours varies, depending on which part of the world you live in. The duration varies anywhere between 12 hours to 18 hours.

    Muslims living in Greenland, are expected to fast for longer hours —17 hours during the holy month.

    In countries such as India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and much of the Middle East, Muslims will have to observe 14 hours of fasting per day.

    In countries like New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, and South Africa Muslims will have to fast for a shorter time which could range between 12-13 hours during the month.

    Below is the average number of fasting hours in cities around the world. Actual fasting times and hours will vary by day as well as calculation methods;

    Delhi liquor case: After nine hours of ED questioning, Kavitha walks out

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi/Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRC) MLC K Kavitha was let off by the Enforcement Directorate after nine hours of questioning in the national capital on Monday. However, the central agency summoned her again on March 21.

    While getting inside her car, Kavitha waved a victory sign to her supporters who had gathered outside the ED office.

    This was the BRS leader’s second round of questioning, during which she was confronted with co-accused and documentary evidence. She was also confronted with Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Pillai, whose remand ended on Monday.

    Kavitha had left for New Delhi the previous day. She was accompanied by IT Minister and elder brother KT Rama Rao and MP Santosh Kumar along with advocates and senior members of the BRS legal cell.

    During her first appearance, she was reportedly confronted with Arun Pillai, who represented the ‘South Group’ which allegedly gave kickbacks of Rs 100 crore to AAP leaders which was allegedly used during the Assembly polls in Goa.

    Pillai has reportedly said that he was Kavitha’s associate.

    Last Wednesday, the ED recorded the statement of Buchchi Babu, Kavitha’s former auditor and also a member of the South Group.

    Kavitha has been maintaining that she has never met former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who has been arrested by the CBI and the ED in connection with the case, claiming that her name is being unnecessarily dragged into the matter.

    According to the ED, Kavitha is also one of the representatives of South Group in the excise policy case.
