ELECTRICITY WASTAGE

Date - 29.01.2010

Since last 1 month, there is a huge wastage of electricity at Vasai station. In the morning, when bright sunlight is there, all lights on the station building, all platforms are kept fully on. I have been seeing this almost daily at about 8 AM. Upto what time, these lights are ON, god only knows. In the days of power shortage, this is not acceptable. It is a waste of public money. If railway authorities have excess power, why not give it to MSEDC and reduce loadshading to some extent.

When I broght this power waste to the attention of Vasai station master, he casually replied -

So what is there?

Others are not bothered. Why do you?

Are you paying for this light?

There is nobody here to put the lights off.

This is a very lethargic approach and does not suit to a responsible person like station master.

When will this electricity waste stop? Will railway authorities pay attention to this?
