944mm 26/27 July : The failures. Amongst them a power company

The blame game has now begun. Many agencies such as the BMC, the police, the MMRDA, the MUTP, the state governement itself,have faced a lot of crticism for the poor show. In addition to this a private company that supplies power to the suburbs has also come in for a lot of criticism on account of their no-show. They have been accused of not restoring supply to many places even after a week. Top management people in the company are to be arrested soon, if media reports are to be beleived. In any case this company has made a mess of the electric distribution system in Bombay. In fact whereever they have started business, theyve made a mess. Examples are Delhi and parts of Orissa. Spares and essential equipment has been missing, since the new MBA's who now control the operations, had thought that these kinds of things are unnecessary and so didnt bother to stock them up. This company didnt take help that was offered by other agencies and the govt. Ultimately they had to , since public pressure was building up like anything. The (usually underestimated) MSEB and a rival electric distribution company ultimately came to their rescue. Ground operations are in a mess. Anyway, its widely accepted that this company we are talking about was MUCH better in its earlier form, before the dogs came to take over the company.
